Acceptance Speech
Oh my goodness, I'm so nervous Do I deserve this? Full disclosure I can be so insecure 'Bout tipping all this Just a recovering validation-aholic Yeah sometimes I'm defined by the volume of a crowd's applause I put my worth in their claps Are they loud or soft? Hooked up to that approval like an IV Act like I don't But I do care what people think Speaking of, are these lyrics tight? Hey, at least I'm not in the now, right? This goes out to myself And every single tear that I've felt Telling me that no one could tell me who to be Except for me All my flaws I gotta recognize all my wrongs I'm so humble and grateful to be Accepting me To all the people I've wasted time comparing myself to If I hate it, it's 'cuz I was jealous of you SongtexteJust a reflection of my fear, rejection that I hear From my toughest critic, the mirror Big shout to all the teams that I been cut from For showing me what I can back get up from To the Grammys, Imma keep on dreaming about you But I'll be the same person With or without you This goes out to myself And every single tear that I've felt Telling me that no one could tell me who to be Except for me All my flaws I gotta recognize all my wrongs I'm so humble and grateful to be Accepting me To all the kids with guitars, looking up at the stars The answer is not a platinum record The old me couldn't make it tonight So accepting on my behalf is somebody better This goes out to myself And every single tear that I've felt Telling me that no one could tell me who to be Except for me All my flaws I gotta recognize all my wrongs I'm so humble and grateful to be Accepting me Aus Songtexte Mania
