Let Them See Me

Gotta put on a full face of makeup

Gotta match my earrings to belt

I gotta style my hair just right, squeeze into heels that feel so tight

I gotta be better than myself

I scroll my phone while making breakfast

Perfect pictures flashing by

I choose a filter for my post, I pick the one that hides the most

Trying to look better than myself

Don't let them see me

Cause I don't think that I would measure up

Don't let them see me

Cause being me is never quite enough

I sit down at the table

With my notebook and my pen

If I write what's on my heart, will people care about my art?

Wish I could be better than myself

Can I let them see me?

When I don't think that I would measure up

Can I let them see me?

Cause being me is never quite enough

What if I died and no one ever saw me?

Would I have been here at all?

What if the cost of staying hidden is greater than the risk?

Only the folks who never fly never fall

If I let them see me

What if I measure up?

Wanna let them see me

Cause being me is actually enough

Being me is actually enough
