I’m the brave one, standing still, holding tight against the thrill
Watch the clock, it bends my will, every minute standing still
When you walk by, my heartbeat flips — yeah, baby please
Time just freezes on your lips — that’s where I wanna be

Got my style, I’m looking fine, mirror glows like neon signs
Hope you smile, it’s showtime — ready now to cross the line
Yesterday was shades of grey, today I’m painting bright and free
It’s the day I face myself, yeah the day I’m meant to be

Mirror says I look okay, but I lost myself that way
Magazine boy, fake display — who’s that guy, I can’t say

(Feel the beat) The one you like ain’t really me
Tryna fit your fantasy
But I’ll tell you honestly
Even if you don’t agree

(Feel the beat) The one you like ain’t really me
Can’t be cool eternally
So I’ll say it truthfully
Even if you walk from me

Stylish shoes and silver chain, waiting under city rain
Wanted shine but got the pain — fake can’t stand, it fades again
Talkin’ nightly on the phone, didn’t feel I’m all alone
Now I know, I’ve grown my own — love don’t care for skin or tone

Did my best to make you glad, didn’t wanna make you sad
Now I’m done with all that fad — I’m just me, and that’s not bad

(Stay with me) The one you like ain’t really me
Tryna match your melody
But I’ll say it honestly
Hope you still believe in me

(Truth in me)The one you like ain’t really me
Tryna live in harmony
Now I speak it openly
You’re the one who set me free

I said the truth, you smiled at me
Said “I knew it — finally”
Heart so light, now I can breathe
That’s the love I wanna see

Turns out the one you liked was me
As I am, just naturally
Now I live authentically
You and I, our destiny

The one you like — really me.
We make our start.
Step in sync, we play our part.
You and me — yes, you and me

Glad you fell for me
Glad I’m who I want to be
Glad it’s us, just meant to be
Glad you loved the real of me

Yeah, I’m glad it’s you — I’m glad it’s me
That’s the way it’s meant to be
We’re finally free — eternally free
You and me !
