Who You Are (American Idol Performance)

I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error

I nearly left the real me on the shelf

"No, no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are

(Who you are)
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less is working yeah yeah

'Cause everything inside me screams, "no, no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising

There's nothing wrong with who you are
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows
Like "woo", just go, and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
With a smile, that's my own

That is my own
"No, no, no, no..."
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
Yeah yeah yeah
