(Verse 1)

Woke up feeling like a ghost in my skin

Same old room but I don’t fit in

Talking out loud but I don’t feel heard

Every “I’m fine” just another word

Mirror says, “You’re still the same”

But inside I’m dodging shame

Like I’m wrestling shadows in the dark

Trying to keep hold of a fading spark

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, I’ve been tired, yeah I’ve been low

Carrying weight nobody knows

But there’s a fire under the doubt

And it ain’t burned out

(Chorus)

I don’t always feel like being myself

Sometimes I wanna be somebody else

But I’m still swinging when I get knocked down

Still picking my heart up off the ground

I’m bruised, I’m bent, but I never fell

I’m fighting my way back to myself

(Verse 2)

Some days I’m losing round by round

Heavy head, feet stuck to the ground

Thoughts hit hard like a tidal wave

Telling me I’ll never change

But there’s a voice under all that noise

Saying, “You still got a choice”

It’s quiet, but it’s strong enough

To remind me I’m not giving up

(Pre-Chorus)

Yeah, I’ve got cracks, yeah I’ve got scars

But broken don’t mean you can’t be a star

There’s a light breaking through the doubt

And it’s coming out

(Chorus)

I don’t always feel like being myself

Sometimes I wanna be somebody else

But I’m still swinging when I get knocked down

Still picking my heart up off the ground

I’m bruised, I’m bent, but I never fell

I’m fighting my way back to myself

(Bridge)

This ain’t the end of my story

Just a chapter I’m walking through

Every tear is proof I’m human

Every breath says I’ll make it through

I might bend, but I won’t break

Every loss is a step I take

(Final Chorus – stronger)

I’m starting to feel like being myself

Not perfect, but I don’t need help

To be somebody I’m not inside

I’m done with running, I won’t hide

I’ve been through hell and I can tell

I’m winning this war with myself
