More Than They See

(Verse 1)

They try to write my story

Before I turn the page

Telling me who I should be

While I’m still finding my way

They draw their own conclusions

From a picture they don’t know

But there’s a thousand versions

Of me I haven’t shown

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m learning how to stand my ground

Even when the world gets loud

(Chorus)

I’m more than what they say about me

More than every headline they read

I’m still changing, still becoming

Someone they don’t get to see

I’m climbing every doubt inside me

Trying to find where I belong

I might not have the answers

But I know where I’m going

(Verse 2)

Every step I’m taking

Feels heavier with their eyes

Like I’m walking on expectations

Trying not to break their lines

But I’m tired of pretending

That I’m someone I’m not

I’d rather lose their approval

Than lose everything I’ve got

(Pre-Chorus)

I’m learning how to trust my voice

Even when it shakes with noise

(Chorus)

I’m more than what they say about me

More than every headline they read

I’m still changing, still becoming

Someone they don’t get to see

I’m climbing every doubt inside me

Trying to find where I belong

I might not have the answers

But I know where I’m going

(Bridge)

Maybe I’ll fall, maybe I’ll break

Maybe I’ll learn from every mistake

But at least these steps are mine to take

(Final Chorus)

I’m more than what they say about me

More than who they want me to be

I’m still growing, still discovering

All the strength inside of me

I’m climbing every doubt inside me

And I’m finally holding on

I might not have the answers

But I know where I belong
