[Verse 1] People always seem to say They know exactly who I am Because I wear a pretty smile They think I should always be that way But my days are painted in colors That don’t have names at all Like a flowing rainbow sky I can’t be drawn with just one line [Chorus] Please don’t define me That’s only the way you see me Inside of me are thousands of stories That I’ve never had the chance to tell My laughter and my silence Are both a part of who I am So please don’t lock me inside The lines that you’ve drawn for me [Verse 2] Some days it’s okay to be sad It’s okay when everything feels messy I don’t have to shine all the time Both the light and shadow belong to me Even when I fall apart There’s a version of me still growing there I want to paint myself again Using colors that feel true to me [Chorus] Please don’t define me My life is more than a single sentence I won’t throw away my heart Just to fit somebody else’s expectations I cry, I laugh, I lose my balance Yet somehow I still shine within it all Because what you’ve seen Is only a small piece of me [Bridge] I am the one who protects myself When everything begins to shake It’s not the voices of others But the quiet, steady voice inside me [Final Chorus] Please don’t define me I’m blooming into someone new each day There is no fixed meaning to who I am Because I’m still becoming More than the names others give me The truth is the heart I’ve chosen for myself And every day I’m still discovering What it means to be me
