Reclaiming Me Lyrics

I tried to fit the mold, to be what you desired

I gave up pieces of me, to fuel your fire

I thought I'd found the way, to make you happy and whole

But the more I gave, the more I lost control

I'm drowning in the expectations, of everyone around

I'm searching for a reflection, that's no longer found

I did my best, to be what you wanted me to be

But in the end, I'm just a shadow, of me

I wore the mask, to hide my true face

I walked the line, to keep the pace

I silenced my voice, to avoid the pain

But the weight of the world, is crushing my frame

I'm drowning in the expectations, of everyone around

I'm searching for a reflection, that's no longer found

I did my best, to be what you wanted me to be

But in the end, I'm just a shadow, of me

Maybe I was blind, maybe I was wrong

To think that I could be, what didn't belong

I'm breaking free, from the chains that bind

I'm finding my way, back to my own mind

I'm rising above, the noise and the pain

I'm finding my voice, and I'm speaking my name

I'll learn to love myself, and let go of the shame

I'll find my way back, to the real me again

I'll shine my light, in the dark of night

I'll be the star, that guides me to the light

I'll learn to love, the person I am

And I'll never again, lose myself in the plan.
