Jessie J. is één van mijn favoriete zangeressen. Je kunt zeggen dat ze schreeuwt, haar songs raken mij toch elke keer weer. Hoe harder je probeert je aan te passen aan de verwachtingen en het beeld wat ‘anderen’ van je hebben, hoe minder het lukt. Laten we dat dan ook allemaal niet meer doen en wees gewoon jezelf, wat jij of ‘anderen’ daar ook van vinden. Volg je hart
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, 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, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, 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 it’s working, yeah, yeah, yeah
‘Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no
Don’t lose it all 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 whoa
Just go and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good luck, good night
With a smile, that’s my home, that’s my home, no
No, no, no, no, no
Don’t lose who you are all 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
