about

The Story You Tell Yourself is an upbeat song with an uplifting message reminding others to believe the best about themselves!

lyrics

If I wiped off my make up
And let my roots show
Would they like it and heart it
Or choose to unfollow?

We're stuck in a moment
The world's just a highlight reel
Where confidence is built on
Things that aren't real

So why do we decide to hide
Who we are inside

Excuse me, can I get your attention?
I think there's something you're missing
So listen up
I gotta speak up
Don't hold on to the lies you're believing
No matter how you're feeling
You're enough
You're strong, you're brave, you're beautiful
You're one of a kind like no one else
You're the story you tell yourself

If I posted a photo
And said how I feel
I might be insecure 'bout it
And what it'd reveal

Would people start asking
If I'm doin' okay
But I'd be doing alright
Cause we all have bad days

Oh it won't change our worth
If we share our hurt

Excuse me, can I get your attention?
I think there's something you're missing
So listen up
I gotta speak up
Don't hold on to the lies you're believing
No matter how you're feeling
You're enough
You're strong, you're brave, you're beautiful
You're one of a kind like no one else
You're the story you tell yourself
The story you tell yourself

Excuse me, can I get your attention?
I think there's something you're missing
So listen up
Gotta speak up
Don't hold on to the lies you're believing
No matter how you're feeling
You're enough
You're strong, you're brave, you're beautiful
You're one of a kind like no one else
You're the story you tell yourself
The story you tell yourself
The story you tell yourself
