[Chorus: Jai]

Who loves me?

Who cares for me? Yeah

Oh, I wonder, these questions as I sit and stare

At reflections of all my imperfections

I'm glad You see beauty here, You love me

(All I want is my true identity)


[Verse 1: Json]

Funny how your past can affect your present

Future's being prepared by your adolescence

Time flies, can't get it back, that's a hard lesson

Sixteen, don't know who we are, so you start guessing

A little her, a little him

A little them, now look at me

Well, I guess this who I will be then

Be them, so we'll be friends, anything so I'll be in

Outside of it all

Outcries of the fall

Nothing to fill the hole that's God-sized in our hearts

That feeling, I just wanna be accepted

You ever had that talk with your reflection, like?

I wish my frame was a little smaller (Little smaller)

Wish my head wasn't so big (So big)

I wish my stomach, I could tuck it in

Yeah, I wish I was a little taller (Little taller)

I hate the man in the mirror cause the man in the mirror just reminds me of myself

So I tell the man in the mirror, "Stay the man in the mirror, I don't wanna be myself"


[Chorus: Jai]

Who loves me?

Who cares for me? Yeah

Oh, I wonder, these questions as I sit and stare

At reflections of all my imperfections

I'm glad You see beauty here, You love me

(All I want is my true identity)


[Verse 2: Json]

Uh

Often I wrestle with being myself

At the core, how He sees me, I don't see myself

Go ahead, tell me I'm made in my Maker's image

My reply, "I wish my Maker would've made me different"

Ever wish you could Photoshop your life?

Crop out the flaws that's obvious, edit your lack of confidence?

Uh, but life is never that easy, is it?

Picture perfect is nonexistent, nobody lives it

Yeah, but that don't stop us from dreaming, do it?

A picture with a broken frame is hard to see me through it

When I was young, people's approval, I'd grab and embrace it

They just parking attendants, I needed validation

Thirsty for affirmation

Hungry for recognition

Never feel like enough

Even after repentance

You're not alone if you don't see you as you should, but believe in what He said, He made us

And we good


[Bridge: Jai]

Picture painted on the wall

Who's the fairest one of all?

What do you see when you see me?

You see beauty, yeah

You see beauty, yeah

You see me

You love me

(All I want is my true identity)


[Chorus: Jai]

Who loves me?

Who cares for me? Yeah

Oh, I wonder, these questions as I sit and stare

At reflections of all my imperfections

I'm glad You see beauty here, You love me

(All I want is my true identity)
