I stare at my reflection in the mirror Why am I doing this…
“I stare at my reflection in the mirror Why am I doing this to myself? Losing my mind on a tiny error, I nearly left the real me on the shelf No, no, no, no Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing, It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, Just be true to who you are (Who you are, who you are, who you are) (Who you are, who you are, who you are) (Who you are, who you are, who you are) (Who you are, who you are) Brushing my hair, do I look perfect? I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah The more I try the less it's working, yeah, 'Cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no, yeah Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising There's nothing wrong with who you are Yes, no's, egos, fake shows Like woo, just go, and leave me alone Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight With a smile , that's my own That's my own, no, no, no, no, no Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing It's okay not to be okay Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising Just be true to who you are, yeah, yeah, yeah”
