I'm not the same girl I was yesterday,
I used to care too much about what they would think,
Now it's like my cares have washed away,
And every time I would hear a whisper,
Something inside would be full of fear,
Being accepted was my only care,
But the sense of pride was never there,
It took me far too long to see,
The way I am is just fine,
I never wanna change or fall in line,
I won't listen to what other people say,
Unless It'll help me along the way,
I'm glad I can finally see,
The beauty in me.
It seems like I've gone through so much in such a little time,
I've had to grow in every aspect of my life,
I see things differently than I did back then,
And there's no going back to where I've been,
It took me far too long to see,
The way I am is just fine,
I never wanna change or fall in line,
I won't listen to what other people say,
Unless It'll help me along the way,
I'm glad I can finally see,
The beauty in me.
