Gotta put on a full face of makeup
Gotta match my earrings to belt
I gotta style my hair just right, squeeze into heels that feel so tight
I gotta be better than myself
I scroll my phone while making breakfast
Perfect pictures flashing by
I choose a filter for my post, I pick the one that hides the most
Trying to look better than myself
Don't let them see me
Cause I don't think that I would measure up
Don't let them see me
Cause being me is never quite enough
I sit down at the table
With my notebook and my pen
If I write what's on my heart, will people care about my art?
Wish I could be better than myself
Can I let them see me?
When I don't think that I would measure up
Can I let them see me?
Cause being me is never quite enough
What if I died and no one ever saw me?
Would I have been here at all?
What if the cost of staying hidden is greater than the risk?
Only the folks who never fly never fall
If I let them see me
What if I measure up?
Wanna let them see me
Cause being me is actually enough
Being me is actually enough
