Lyrics
God, i need to see me through your eyes
I've been so dependent on how i think
They think of me, truth pushed aside
By the opinions i've been harboring
I wanna love who i am, not through somebody's lens
But through the author holding the pen
If you wrote my life, please tell me why
I've been struggling to love who i am
To love, to love
To love, to love
I just wanna love who i am
To love, to love
To love, to love
I'm failing expectations made in my brain
They're the reason i avoid all the mirrors
Or tears well up, deep in my eyes
'cause i can't pick a single thing that i like
I wanna love who i am, not through somebody's lens
But through the author holding the pen
If you wrote my life, please tell me why
I've been struggling to love who i am
To love, to love
To love, to love
And i just wanna love who i am
To love, to love
To love, to love
[bridge]
If i'm honest, i want to leave my skin
I'm so exhausting to live in
But pen to paper, you say
That you want me, exactly as i am
So, prove that i'm worthy to love
Even all of the parts i loathe
And i'm allowed to love me whole
Help me love who i am, not through my own lens
But through your eyes, and from your pen
