The scrolling screens say I should fix my face
Chasing shadows in a never-ending race
Tried to fit the mold, sanded down my edges
Left myself stranded on perfection's ledges
(all those filters blurring who I am)
But the effort's wearing thin, the performance is done
I'm tired of trying to be everyone's number one
I'm throwing out the script, tearing up the page
Finally stepping off that tiny stage
'cause I'm a little messy, I'm a beautiful wreck
No need to be flawless, no need to check, check, check
This is my color, my shade of blue
Yeah, I'm finding peace in what is true
I am (my own kind of beautiful)
I got scars you can see and some you can't
I talk too fast sometimes, I can't recant
I'm perfectly imperfect, a tangled-up design
But every single flaw is finally feeling mine
(no more apologizing for the way I shine)
But the effort's wearing thin, the performance is done
I'm tired of trying to be everyone's number one
I'm throwing out the script, tearing up the page
Finally stepping off that tiny stage
'cause I'm a little messy, I'm a beautiful wreck
No need to be flawless, no need to check, check, check
This is my color, my shade of blue
Yeah, I'm finding peace in what is true
I am (my own kind of beautiful)
They told me 'be strong, don't show the fear'
But the real strength is standing right here
Just me, unfiltered, raw, and free
Exactly who I'm meant to be
'cause I'm a little messy, I'm a beautiful wreck
No need to be flawless, no need to check, check, check
This is my color, my shade of blue
Yeah, I'm finding peace in what is true
I am (my own kind of beautiful)
My own kind of beautiful
Yeah, finally beautiful
