Used to try to be someone else
Hiding bits of my true self
Wore a mask that fit just right
Tried to shine a borrowed light
Listened to the world outside
Nowhere left for me to hide
But now I'm learning just to be
Perfectly, imperfectly me
Finding strength in honesty
Finally, finally free
No more hiding, you will see
Just perfectly, imperfectly me
Took some time to understand
Holding my own life in my hand
Not defined by what they say
Living life in my own way
Let the pieces fall apart
Listened to my beating heart
'Cause now I'm learning just to be
Perfectly, imperfectly me
Finding strength in honesty
Finally, finally free
No more hiding, you will see
Just perfectly, imperfectly me
It's a journey, slow and deep
Promises I intend to keep
To the person here inside
Yeah, now I'm learning just to be
Perfectly, imperfectly me
Finding strength in honesty
Finally, finally free
No more hiding, you will see
Just perfectly, imperfectly me
Perfectly me... finally free...
