Confronting yourself and having the courage to say that no matter what this is who I am and if you don't like it, I guess I'll walk away. Nobody's perfect and we all try so hard to be instead of being ourselves and this is coming to a spurt of growth.

Lyrics
VERSE 1
Today I washed my makeup away
So that the mirror could see my face
I wanted all my pain to portray
What my words could not say
B PART
Cos I'll never be good enough
They see my tears and call my bluff
Gotta tough it out and suck it up to stay
To stay
Keep on running to the top
No time to breathe
No time to stop
But I
CHORUS
Gotta shut the world out
And break down
So I can see what's left of me
Time for me to be alone
Where I feel home
And remember what I believe
I just wanna cry out loud
Cos it's the only sound
That will truly set me free
I'm just standing still to say to you
I'm not perfect
Just thought you should know
VERSE 2
So hectic I can't find my way
And I'm tired of all this rain
I'm damaged and so ashamed
Only half my soul remains
B-PART
Cos I'll never be pretty enough
They see my tears and call my bluff
Gotta tough it out and suck it up
To stay
Keep on running to the top
No time to breathe
No time to stop
But I
CHORUS
Gotta shut the world out
And break down
So I can see what's left of me
Time for me to be alone
Where I feel home
And remember what I believe
I just wanna cry out loud
Cos it's the only sound
That will truly set me free
I'm just standing still to say to you
I'm not perfect
BRIDGE
Oh I'm so afraid of change
And oh I know it's the only way
CHORUS
Gotta shut the world out
And break down
So I can see what's left of me
Time for me to be alone
Where I feel home
And remember what I believe
I just wanna cry out loud
Cos it's the only sound
That will truly set me free
I'm just standing still to say to you
I'm not perfect
Just thought you should know
Just thought you should know
