Lyrics for Jessie J – Who You Are

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)x11

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 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
