Lyrics
I'd rather be real than perfect I used to think I never measured up Always thought I'd never be enough Then I finally put my phone away Stopped believing what people had to say I don’t wake up looking like a dream I’m not a highlight reel on your screen So here’s to the mess, here’s to the mistakes Here’s to the chances I was scared to take Go ahead, say what you wanna say I'm not changing anyway. I’m amazing, not perfect Now I see I am worth it I don’t need to fix any part of me I’m already who I’m supposed to be No more hiding who I am No more living by their plans I'm not here to be a clone I'd rather stand here on my own I'd rather stand here on my own Yeah, I’ve made mistakes I can’t erase Had some nights I don’t want to replay But every scratch is proof that I lived I wouldn't change a single bit I'm not finished, I'm not done I’m still finding out who I wanna become I wear my flaws in plain sight Don't need to hide them to feel alright So go ahead, say what you wanna say I'm not changing anyway. I’m amazing, not perfect Now I see I am worth it I don’t need to fix any part of me I’m already who I’m supposed to be No more hiding who I am No more living by their plans I'm not here to be a clone I'd rather stand here on my own! I’m amazing, not perfect And I finally see that I'm worth it I'll be loud, I'll be real And I never felt so free If they don't like me, that's okay I'm still living life my way I'd rather be real than perfect
