My True Self Lyrics

I look in the mirror, and I see me,

But it's not who I am, it's who you made me be.

You shaped me, you changed me, I let it all through,

But now I know better, I see what is true.

I'm not the version you created, to please the crowd,

Learned the hard way what matters, and now I'm proud.

No more trying to fit in, no more living a lie,

From now on, I'll be myself, no more asking why.

I tried to please everyone, but I lost my way,

Forgot what I wanted, forgot what to say.

Now I see clearly, what I need to be,

I'll laugh loud and proud, 'cause that's the real me.

I'm not the version you created, to please the crowd,

Learned the hard way what matters, and now I'm proud.

No more trying to fit in, no more living a lie,

From now on, I'll be myself, no more asking why.

I'll embrace my flaws, and my wild, crazy dreams,

I'll live for myself, no more silent screams.

I'll shine my own light, let the real me show,

From now on, it's my life, I'll let the world know.

I'm not the version you created, to please the crowd,

Learned the hard way what matters, and now I'm proud.

No more trying to fit in, no more living a lie,

From now on, I'll be myself, no more asking why.

I look in the mirror, and I say, "That's enough,"

I'll be who I am, whether soft or tough.

From now on, I'll be me, no more playing a part,

Just me and my laughter, straight from the heart.
