[Verse 1] I talk big in the mirror Then I look away If I say I know my worth Why does it feel like a stage? I want to stand up straight Not need the whole room’s praise But when the room goes quiet I hear my own name [Pre-Chorus] So tell me where’s the line Between standing tall And needing every eye To catch me when I fall [Chorus] Is it self-love or self-made? Am I brave or am I vain? I’m trying not to drown In my own hurricane Is it self-love or self-made? Say it straight, don’t let me fake I want a solid ground Not a golden cage [Verse 2] I replay every win Like I’m building proof Then I hate myself for caring That much about the view I can hold my head high And still check the cracks Can you be your own light Without bending it back? [Pre-Chorus] So tell me where’s the line Between my pulse and pride Between “I can do this” And “I need you to survive” [Chorus] Is it self-love or self-made? Am I brave or am I vain? I’m trying not to drown In my own hurricane Is it self-love or self-made? Say it straight, don’t let me fake I want a solid ground Not a golden cage [Bridge] Maybe confidence is loud And healing gets misread Maybe I’m not above it Maybe I’m just scared If I take up too much space Will you call it a flaw? If I stop shrinking tonight Will I still know who I am at all? [Final Chorus] Is it self-love or self-made? Am I brave or am I vain? I’m trying not to drown In my own hurricane Is it self-love or self-made? Say it straight, don’t let me fake I want a solid ground Not a golden cage (Oh, oh) (I want a solid ground)
