Tell Me Now

Verse 1

I learned to read the room before I spoke,

Learned which parts of me to hide as jokes.

Every reflection wears a different face,

Everywhere I turn, I'm out of place.

They tell me who I could become,

Like I'm a story they've already done.

But every page they try to write

Leaves something missing every time.

Pre-Chorus

So look at me, don't look away,

You've got opinions, words to say.

If you've got me all figured out,

Then tell me what I'm all about.

Chorus

Do you know who-?

Do you really think-?

What do you see-?

What am I supposed -?

(Tell me now, tell me now)

I am..

I can?

In me...

To be..?

(I don't know, I don't know)

Verse 2

I tried to fit inside the names

Everybody gave me just the same.

But every label starts to crack

When I try to wear it on my back.

Maybe I'm loud, maybe I'm strange,

Maybe I'm terrified of change.

Maybe there's nothing wrong with me,

Maybe I'm still becoming me.

Pre-Chorus

So look at me, don't look away,

You've got opinions, words to say.

If you've got me all figured out,

Then tell me what I'm all about.

Chorus

Do you know who-?

Do you really think-?

What do you see-?

What am I supposed -?

(Tell me now, tell me now)

I am..

I can?

In me...

To be..?

(I don't know, I don't know)

Bridge

Maybe the answer isn't waiting

At the end of every road.

Maybe I don't need a reason

For every part of me I hold.

Maybe someday I'll look back

And recognize the face I see.

But right now, all I've got is this:

I'm still learning how to be me.

Final Chorus

Do you know who-?

Do you really think-?

What do you see-?

What am I supposed -?

(Tell me now, tell me now)

I am...

I can...

There's something...

I'm meant to be...

(I don't know...)

(I don't know...)

Outro

Maybe that's okay.
