Verse 1
When I was younger, I changed like the weather
One week leather jackets, next week soft sweaters
Saw girls in magazines, stars on the screen
Thought if I looked like them, I’d finally be seen
Cut my hair different, changed every style
Tried to fit the picture mile after mile
“Oh my God, she’s perfect” — I said that a lot
But every new version still felt like a mask
Pre-Chorus
I was chasing mirrors
Running after light
Trying to become somebody
Every single night
Chorus
But now I finally found me
No more hiding underneath
No more changing colors
Just to make somebody pleased
I like the way I laugh now
I like the way I dream
After all these years
I’m finally me
Verse 2
Used to walk around with somebody else’s smile
Practiced being pretty in a thousand different styles
Wanted their confidence, wanted their grace
Wanted every feature that I didn’t have
And every little trend became another role
But copying perfection only emptied out my soul
Then one quiet morning, with no one around
I looked into the mirror and I liked what I found
Pre-Chorus
No more pretending
No more playing small
I don’t need permission
Just to stand here tall
Chorus
’Cause now I finally found me
No more hiding underneath
No more changing colors
Just to make somebody pleased
I like the way I laugh now
I like the way I speak
After all these years
I’m finally me
Bridge
Maybe I’m not flawless
Maybe that’s the point
Every scar and every change
Brought me to this voice
And I don’t wanna lose it
Trying to be somebody new
The best thing I ever did
Was telling myself the truth
Final Chorus
Yeah, now I finally found me
And I’m staying who I am
No more trying to become
Somebody they’d understand
This heart is mine to carry
This soul is mine to keep
And after all this time
I’m finally… me
Outro
Mm… finally me
Finally me
Just me
And that’s enough for me
