Lyrics

[INTRO]
Walking this road, feeling the weight,
Every step I take, it’s hard to relate,
They say I shine like a diamond bright,
But inside I’m lost, searching for light.

[VERSE 1]
In a world of expectations, I wear this disguise,
With a painted smile, while I hide the cries,
They see the surface, the mask I project,
But underneath it all, there's fear and regret.

[CHORUS]
No, I’m not perfect, don’t put me on that stage,
I’m just an echo of the thoughts in my cage.
I’m different from others, can’t you see?
I’m not as good as I seem to be.

[VERSE 2]
Every single day, I’m fighting this fight,
With shadows of doubt, creeping in at night.
They want my wings, but never understand,
That my heart’s not a trophy, it’s fragile like sand.

[CHORUS]
No, I’m not perfect, don’t put me on that stage,
I’m just an echo of the thoughts in my cage.
I’m different from others, can’t you see?
I’m not as good as I seem to be.

[BRIDGE]
Maybe one day, I’ll take off the mask,
Let you see my flaws, it’s a heavy task.
But I promise you this, I’ll still be me,
In all my colors, wild and free.

[CHORUS]
No, I’m not perfect, don’t put me on that stage,
I’m just an echo of the thoughts in my cage.
I’m different from others, can’t you see?
I’m not as good as I seem to be.

[HOOK]
So hold me close, don’t judge by the shine,
We’re all a little broken; it's by design.
In this masquerade, we all wear a plea,
Let’s find the beauty in our hearts, you and me.

[OUTRO]
So here’s my truth, take it or leave,
I’m learning to live, to love, and believe.
No more perfection, just setting me free,
I’m not as good as I seem to be.
