Just be yourself

[Verse 1] I saw myself in a window, didn’t like the reflection, Too many lines I rehearsed just to fake a direction, Smiled like a stranger wearing somebody’s name, But deep down I knew I was tired of the game. [Chorus] I don’t wanna live a life that isn’t mine, No more pretty little perfect lies, Even if my voice shakes when I speak, I’ll be me, I’ll be me. If the world feels heavy in my hands, I’ll still walk just the way I am, Step by step into something true, I choose me, I choose truth. [Verse 2] There were days I felt small just for telling the truth, Like the room got quiet when I finally spoke through, Yeah it’s scary sometimes just to stand in the light, But I’d rather be seen than be lost out of sight. [Chorus] I don’t wanna live a life that isn’t mine, No more pretty little perfect lies, Even if my voice shakes when I speak, I’ll be me, I’ll be me. If the world feels heavy in my hands, I’ll still walk just the way I am, Step by step into something true, I choose me, I choose truth. [Bridge] Maybe I’ll blush, maybe I’ll fall, Maybe I won’t have the answers at all, But I’d rather be real than safe in disguise, There’s a kind of freedom in honest eyes. [Final Chorus] I don’t wanna live a life that isn’t mine, No more running, no more hiding lines, Even if it hurts a little to begin, I’ll let the real me in. If tomorrow’s waiting up ahead, I’ll meet it with the truth I said, Step by step into something new, I choose me, I choose truth.
