about

Sometimes, it's enough to accept yourself rather than love yourself.

lyrics

It’s a learning process
To trust yourself in your own skin
And I’m still making progress
Where constructs end and I begin
What you see is just a fraction
Beneath carelessness and words unkind
Conservative actions
Conceal a radical mind

And I will never change
Because I’m not ashamed
I have nothing else to offer
I’ve nowhere left to hide
Wear your soul on the outside

My voice is useless
My convictions torn to shreds
But if I were perfect
Would you tune out instead?
Why do I turn to introspection?
Well, it helps when I write songs
But sometimes self-reflection
Denies the chance to sing along

And I will never change
Because I’m not ashamed
I have nothing else to offer
I’ve nowhere left to hide
Wear your soul on the outside

And I’m not afraid anymore
No, I’m not afraid anymore
‘Cause I have nothing else to offer
I’ve nowhere left to hide
Wear your soul on the outside
