I felt the fear inside my chest
Of falling short, not all they'd expect
Tried to please, tried to comply
But this heart won't fade or lie

I've walked their path, it's not my fault
I've tried their rules, I'm letting go
No more hiding, no disguise, I'm done
With chasing empty skies

I won't change, I won't pretend
I'd rather be true to me till the end
True to me, true to me
I'll always be true to me
True to me, True to me

I hid away, afraid they'd see
Afraid they wouldn't like the real me
Tried to bend, tried to change, But this
Heart fights, it felt too strange

I won't change, I won't pretend
I'd rather be true to me till the end
True to me, true to me
I'll always be true to me
True to me

I hid-away, afraid they'd see
Afraid they wouldn't like the real me
Tried to bend, tried to change, But this
Heart fights, it felt too strange

I won't change, I won't pretend
I'd rather be true to me till the end
True to me, true to me
I'll always be true to me
True to me

Not one word they speak can shake me
Their shadows only serve to wake me
I'll rise above, I'll claim my space
This is my song, this is my place

I won't change, I won't pretend
I'd rather be true to me till the end
True to me, true to me
I'll always be true to me

True to me I'll always stay
I'll shine my light, and lead the way

True to me, true to me
I'll always be true to me

True to me, true to me
I'll always be true to me

True to me, true to me, I'll always be true to me
True to me, true to me, I'll always be true to me
