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
