  • Mmm, yeah, oh
    Yeah, yeah

    I stare at my reflection in the mirror
    Why am I doing this to myself?
    Losing my mind on a tiny error
    I nearly left the real me on the shelf
    No, no, no, no

    Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
    Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
    It's okay not to be okay
    Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
    Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
    Just be true to who you are

    (Who you are, who you are, who you are)
    (Who you are, who you are, who you are)
    No, no, no, no, no, no
    (Who you are, who you are, who you are)
    (Who you are, who you are)

    Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
    I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
    The more I try the less it's working, yeah, yeah
    'Cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no,, no, yeah

    Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
    Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
    It's okay not to be okay
    Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
    But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
    There's nothing wrong with who you are

    Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like whoa
    Just go, and leave me alone
    Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
    With a smile, that's my home
    That's my home, no

    No, no, no, no, no, no

    Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
    Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
    It's okay not to be okay
    Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
    Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
    Just be true to who you are
    Yeah, yeah-yeah Writer/s: Jessica Cornish, Shelly Peiken, Tobias Gad
