Lyrics
Once you believed, deep in your soul
Perfection played a vital role
That flaws could shatter every tie
And peace was something you must buy
So you built calm, a fortress strong
Where nothing ever could go wrong
You held your breath for every sound
On hallowed, unforgiving ground
The one who never stumbled, grand and tall
Afraid to answer freedom's call
But darling, listen to the beat
You don't owe the world a polished feat
You owe yourself your sacred space
Your honest heart, your gentle grace
Just let your presence fill the air
No need for masks, no hidden prayer
Oh, let your real self be seen
More than just a perfect scene
The heavy weight, a constant guest
Always pushing for the ultimate test
Each whispered word, a careful, measured art
Protecting pieces of your tender heart
The quiet terror, breaking through
To show the fragile, honest you
Behind the smiles, a silent plea
Just to be wild, authentically free
This constant striving, day by day
Washing your true self far away
But darling, listen to the beat
You don't owe the world a polished feat
You owe yourself your sacred space
Your honest heart, your gentle grace
Just let your presence fill the air
No need for masks, no hidden prayer
Shed the armor, let it fall
Answer freedom's quiet call
Your worth's not earned, it always waits
Beyond the guarded, perfect gates
Just breathe it in, let go and be
Beautifully, wonderfully free
