Uh
Oh, my goodness
I'm so nervous
Do I deserve this?
Full disclosure
I can be so insecure
Wrapped up in all this
Just a recovering validation-aholic
Yeah, sometimes I'm defined
By the volume of a crowd's applause
I put my worth in their claps, are they loud or soft?
Hooked up to that approval like an IV
Act like I don't, but I do care what people think
Speaking of, are this lyrics tight?
Aye, at least I'm not in denial, right?
This goes out to myself
And every single tear that fell
Telling me that no one could tell me who to be
Except for me
All my flaws
I gotta recognize all my wrongs
I'm so humbled and grateful to be
Accepting me
To all the people I've wasted time comparing myself to
If I hated it's 'cause I was jealous of you
Just a reflection of my fear
Rejection that I hear
From my toughest critic
The mirror
Big shout to all the teams that I've been cut from
For showing me what I can get back up from
To the Grammys
I'ma keep on dreaming about ya
But I'll be the same person with or without ya
This goes out to myself
And every single tear that fell
Telling me that no one could tell me who to be
Except for me
All my flaws
I gotta recognize all my wrongs
I'm so humbled and grateful to be
Accepting me
To all the kids with guitars looking up
At the stars, the answer is not a Platinum Record
The old me couldn't make it tonight
So accepting on my behalf is somebody better
This goes out to myself
And every single tear that fell
Telling me that no one could tell me who to be
Except for me
All my flaws
I gotta recognize all my wrongs
I'm so humbled and grateful to be
Accepting me
