Used to hide behind my hoodie and my hair
Kept it quiet, played it safe, like I wasn’t there
Tried to fit in shoes that weren’t made for me
Lost my voice tryna sound like what they wanna see
But I got tired of dimmin' my light
Now I speak up and sleep just fine
I’m not perfect, but I’m real
Don’t need filters just to feel
I cry, I laugh, I fall apart
And still, I love my open heart
Don’t need no one to rescue me
I found peace in just bein' free
Finally know who I wanna be
And I’m good, I’m good with me
They said smile more, don’t talk too loud
Stay in line, don’t stand out in the crowd
But I’m done with shrinking down to fit
Now I wear my flaws like they’re made to hit
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I got scars, yeah, and they shine
Part of the art, part of my design
I’m not perfect, but I’m real
Don’t need filters just to feel
I cry, I laugh, I fall apart
And still, I love my open heart
Don’t need no one to rescue me
I found peace in just bein' free
Finally know who I wanna be
And I’m good, I’m good with me
Some days I’m low, some days I fly
But every version still deserves the sky
So I give myself the love I give away
Took a while, but I’m here to stay
I’m not perfect, but I’m real
Don’t need fixing just to heal
I cry, I grow, I break and mend
And love myself like my own best friend
Don’t need no one to validate
I’m whole inside — no time to wait
I’ve made peace, and now I see
Yeah, I’m good, I’m good with me
I’m not perfect, but I’m real
Don’t need fixing just to heal
I cry, I grow, I break and mend
And love myself like my own best friend
Don’t need no one to validate
I’m whole inside — no time to wait
I’ve made peace, and now I see
Yeah, I’m good, I’m good with me
Kept it quiet, played it safe, like I wasn’t there
Tried to fit in shoes that weren’t made for me
Lost my voice tryna sound like what they wanna see
But I got tired of dimmin' my light
Now I speak up and sleep just fine
I’m not perfect, but I’m real
Don’t need filters just to feel
I cry, I laugh, I fall apart
And still, I love my open heart
Don’t need no one to rescue me
I found peace in just bein' free
Finally know who I wanna be
And I’m good, I’m good with me
They said smile more, don’t talk too loud
Stay in line, don’t stand out in the crowd
But I’m done with shrinking down to fit
Now I wear my flaws like they’re made to hit
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I got scars, yeah, and they shine
Part of the art, part of my design
I’m not perfect, but I’m real
