I've tried walkin' through life with a stone face
I won't calm the fire if it doesn't rain, oh-oh-oh
I've tried bathin' in false to avoid the realness
Oh, why can't I be the fearless one?
And for once, be a lion
Kill the voices in my head
Maybe I'm afraid to be judged
Maybe I'm ashamed to seem so weak
Worried that you're gonna laugh
I tried to be unbreakable, but I can't stay in one piece
Maybe I'm done hidin' and the truth is that I'm just me
I'm just me
Whoo-oh
I'm not good at doin' things I've never done
Well, somethin' inside me wants to up and run, whoa-oh
I'm not great at pickin' up when I'm called to feel things
Oh, why can't I be the fearless one?
And for once, be a lion
Kill the voices in my head
Maybe I'm afraid to be judged
Maybe I'm ashamed to seem so weak
Worried that you're gonna laugh
I tried to be unbreakable, but I can't stay in one piece
Maybe I'm done hidin' and the truth is that I'm just me
So forgive me (forgive me)
For tryin' (for tryin')
And holdin' out my heart
It's not easy (not easy)
My darlin' (my darlin')
But I'm lettin' down my guard
(Oh-oh-oh) oh-oh-oh
Maybe I'm afraid to be judged
Maybe I'm ashamed to seem so weak
Worried that you're gonna laugh
I tried to be unbreakable, but I can't stay in one piece
Maybe I'm done hidin' and the truth is that I'm just me
Maybe I'm done hidin' and the truth is that I'm just me
