Verse 1
I’ve been wearing borrowed faces
Trading truths for quiet rooms
Every mirror’s got opinions
Every silence has a wound
I swallow thoughts I shouldn’t
Just to keep the peace intact
But the person that you’re holding
Is a fading artifact

Pre-Chorus
I’m tired of folding into shapes that never fit
I’m tired of shrinking just to say I exist

Chorus
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I could
Pretend to be if I rehearsed
Every line, every word
I don’t want to change my voice
Just to give you what you want
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I’m not

Verse 2
I’ve been living half awake
Second-guessing every breath
Translating my own heartbeat
Like it’s coded in regret
I’ve apologized for breathing
For my history, for my name
Walked on coals to earn affection
Burned myself but still no flame

Pre-Chorus
I’m tired of holding up a mask that never stays
I’m tired of acting like I like the empty praise

Chorus
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I could
Pretend to be if I rehearsed
Every line, every word
I don’t want to change my voice
Just to give you what you want
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I’m not

Bridge
If I show you the scars
Will you still stay?
If I tell you my fears
Will you look away?
If I stop trying so hard
Will I still matter?
Or will I disappear
Like broken chatter?

Breakdown
No more mirrors, no more lies
Let the masked version of me finally die

Final Chorus
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who you think I should
I can’t fake another smile
I can’t live another trial
I don’t want to play pretend
Just to feel relevant
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am, not who I’ve been

Outro
Let me breathe, let me speak
Let me stay if I’m weak
I just want to be understood
Loved for who I am
That’s enough
That’s enough

For Who I Am
