You for you

YOU FOR YOU

Intro — Pop

Yeah…

I don’t need you to change.

I just need you to be…

You.

Verse 1 — Rap

I don’t want the perfect version,

I don’t need the filtered truth,

Don’t care about the world you show

If I can’t get the real you.

You don’t have to hide your scars,

You don’t have to play it cool,

I’ve seen you at your lowest

And I still see something beautiful.

Everybody wants a piece of you,

Wants something they can use,

But I don’t want your money,

Your status, or your views.

I don’t need you to impress me,

Don’t need diamonds on my shoes,

If everything disappeared tomorrow,

I’d still choose you.

Pre-Chorus — Pop

So take off all the armor,

You can leave it at the door.

You don’t have to prove you’re worth it—

You don’t have to anymore.

Chorus — Pop

I want you for you,

Not the things you do,

Not the person everybody thinks

They’re supposed to know.

I want you for you,

Every broken piece too,

When the lights go out

And nobody’s watching you.

I want you for you,

Yeah, nothing more, nothing less.

If you forget who you are,

I’ll remind you what you are.

I don’t want somebody new—

I want you for you.

Verse 2 — Rap

You don’t gotta smile when you’re hurting,

You don’t gotta say you’re okay,

You don’t gotta carry everybody

Just to make it through the day.

I’ve got my own demons,

You’ve got yours to fight,

We don’t have to be perfect

Just to make this feel right.

And if you lose your way,

I’ll walk beside you,

Not ahead, not behind—

I’m just trying to find you.

Not the Instagram you,

Not the “I’m good” you,

Not the version of yourself

That everybody wants you to.

Give me the midnight you,

The “I don’t know” you,

The scared, complicated,

Beautifully honest you.

Pre-Chorus — Pop

So take off all the armor,

You can leave it at the door.

You don’t have to prove you’re worth it—

You don’t have to anymore.

Chorus — Pop

I want you for you,

Not the things you do,

Not the person everybody thinks

They’re supposed to know.

I want you for you,

Every broken piece too,

When the lights go out

And nobody’s watching you.

I want you for you,

Yeah, nothing more, nothing less.

If you forget who you are,

I’ll remind you what you are.

I don’t want somebody new—

I want you for you.

Bridge — Melodic Rap

And if tomorrow takes everything,

Your plans, your dreams, your name,

If all you have left is yourself,

I’ll still look at you the same.

‘Cause love ain’t what you give me,

Love ain’t what you prove,

It’s sitting in the silence

And still choosing you.

Final Chorus — Big Pop

I want you for you,

Not the life you could provide,

Not the image, not the money,

Not the way you look outside.

I want you for you,

When you’re lost, when you’re confused,

When the whole world turns away,

I’ll still be right here with you.

I want you for you,

And I hope you want you too.

’Cause before you give your heart to me,

You gotta learn to love you.

I don’t want somebody new—

I don’t want somebody perfect—

I just want you.

Outro — Soft

You don’t have to become somebody else.
