Let Them See Me

Gotta put on a full face of makeup Gotta match my earrings to belt I gotta style my hair just right, squeeze into heels that feel so tight I gotta be better than myself I scroll my phone while making breakfast Perfect pictures flashing by I choose a filter for my post, I pick the one that hides the most Trying to look better than myself Don't let them see me Cause I don't think that I would measure up Don't let them see me Cause being me is never quite enough I sit down at the table With my notebook and my pen If I write what's on my heart, will people care about my art? Wish I could be better than myself Can I let them see me? When I don't think that I would measure up Can I let them see me? Cause being me is never quite enough What if I died and no one ever saw me? Would I have been here at all? What if the cost of staying hidden is greater than the risk? Only the folks who never fly never fall If I let them see me What if I measure up? Wanna let them see me Cause being me is actually enough Being me is actually enough
