Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
It's hard to paint the perfect picture
When you're broken behind the scenes
It's hard to keep a mask on when you're tearing at the seams
It's hard to be somebody that you're not supposed to be
And you just keep on trying to be everything they need
But one day you will wake up and you'll start to realize
The person on the outside isn't who you are inside
You'll hold onto to resentment of the person you can't find
And someday you will ask yourself
Who am I, who am I
Who am I
You're captive to the people
That you've spent your whole life pleasin'
But you're still so unhappy
And you're still not what they needed
Then one day you will wake up and you'll start to realize
The person on the outside isn't who you are inside
You'll hold onto resentment of the person you can't find
And someday you will ask yourself
Who am I, who am I
Who am I
All you've ever wanted was to be loved
Don't you know that who you are is already enough
Be who you were made to be
You don't have to change a thing
The truth's already written on your heart
But one day you will wake up and you'll start to realize
The person on the outside isn't who you are inside
You'll hold onto resentment of the person you can't find
And someday you will ask yourself
Who am I
