[Verse 1]
I know the face I meet each morning
No borrowed lines, no warning
Every mark has earned its place
I wear the truth across my face
[Pre-Chorus]
You can turn away, you can stay and see
But your judgment doesn’t measure me
[Chorus]
I’m beautiful the way I am
No, I don’t need another plan
Like me or leave, I’ll still stand tall
I won’t bend to please you at all
Take it or leave it, swallow your pride
I’ve got my own heart on my side
Resilient, authentic, confident
This is me, and I’m not changing it
[Verse 2]
I’ve walked through rooms that wanted smaller
Made my voice a little softer
Now I speak and let it ring
I know exactly what I bring
[Pre-Chorus]
You can turn away, you can stay and see
But your approval doesn’t define me
[Chorus]
I’m beautiful the way I am
No, I don’t need another plan
Like me or leave, I’ll still stand tall
I won’t bend to please you at all
Take it or leave it, swallow your pride
I’ve got my own heart on my side
Resilient, authentic, confident
This is me, and I’m not changing it
[Bridge]
I won’t trade my peace for a passing praise
Won’t disappear to fit your frame
If loving me feels hard to do
That’s your road, not mine to move
[Final Chorus]
I’m beautiful the way I am
Stronger now than when I began
Like me or leave, I’ll still stand tall
I won’t bend to please you at all
Take it or leave it, swallow your pride
I’ve got my own heart on my side
Resilient, authentic, confident
This is me, and I’m not changing it
[Outro]
This is me
Exactly as I am
