Scrolling through my phone, Late at night, all alone, Pinned my hopes on pastel dreams, Chasing likes, tearing at the seams. In a world of glossy skin, I wore the mask, but I couldn't win. Filter off, I see the light, Found my heart, it feels so right. From the shadows, I rise tall, Learning to love, let the barriers fall. Eating my words, but not my pride, I'm breaking free, I'm on this ride. Remember that night, at Lisa's place, We laughed 'til we cried, lost in space. I painted my face with a shimmery glow, But the girl in the mirror felt so low. Thought I had to shrink to fit in tight, But now I know my glow is shining bright. Filter off, I see the light, Found my heart, it feels so right. From the shadows, I rise tall, Learning to love, let the barriers fall. Eating my words, but not my pride, I'm breaking free, I'm on this ride. With every step, I reclaim my grace, Dancing in the sun, I'm finding my place. Kicking off the chains of yesterday, In this real world, I'm here to stay. Filter off, I see the light, Found my heart, it feels so right. From the shadows, I rise tall, Learning to love, let the barriers fall. Eating my words, but not my pride, I'm breaking free, I'm on this ride. So here I stand, no more disguise, I'm starting to soar, I'm reaching the skies. With every heartbeat, I'm coming alive, In this beautiful mess, I finally thrive. Filter off, I'm finally me, In the mirror, I see my own beauty.
