Dear diary,
tonight I confess
There's a shadow in me
I can't suppress
It whispers softly,
It cuts so deep
"Everyone's better, you're nothing to keep"
But in the quiet,
A voice breaks through
Warm and gentle,
It feels like truth
And it says:
You're you
Be proud of you
No one else could ever be you
The way your heart beats,
The way you shine
You're a story only you can write
I try to drown it,
But it still speaks
Tearing me down when I'm feeling weak
And in the silence, I feel it too
The echo rising, pulling me through
It says:
You're you
Be proud of you
No one else could ever do
You're a story only you can write
I try… I try to believe
That the mirror's not my enemy
I try… I try to see
The beauty that's been inside of me
And it says:
You're you
Be proud of you
No one else could ever..
Write the story of you.
