[Verse 1]
Caught my face in a window
Counted every flaw I could find
Tugging on my sleeve in the mirror
Wishing I could step outside my own mind
[Pre-Chorus]
But the more I tried to shrink
The louder I became inside
Every quiet little hope
Refusing to stay out of sight
[Chorus]
I’m done drawing myself in pencil
Fading at the edges
Scared to be seen
These soft lines
These strange angles
They’re the only ones that ever belonged to me
If I’m a little cracked
A little messy
That’s the way the light gets through
I’m learning how to love the view
When I’m just
Just being me (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Used to dress like a question
Waiting for an answer in their eyes
Chasing every passing opinion
Like it held the map to my life
[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m tired of asking “am I enough?”
Like I’m waiting for a stamp
A sign
There’s a quiet kind of beauty
In the way I’m misaligned
[Chorus]
I’m done drawing myself in pencil
Fading at the edges
Scared to be seen
These soft lines
These strange angles
They’re the only ones that ever belonged to me
If I’m a little cracked
A little messy
That’s the way the light gets through
I’m learning how to love the view
When I’m just
Just being me (yeah, just being me)
[Bridge]
So here’s to the scars I tried to cover
The stories I erased from every page
Here’s to the days I called myself “broken”
When I was just learning to change
[Chorus]
I’m done drawing myself in pencil
Fading at the edges
Scared to be seen
These soft lines
These strange angles
They’re the only ones that ever belonged to me
If I’m a little cracked
A little messy
That’s the way the light gets through
I’m learning how to love the view
When I’m just
Just being me
(Just being me, just being me)
