You Can Breathe

[Verse 1]
You fold your sleeves to hide the paint
You bite your words before they break
They draw a box and call it home
But you were never theirs to own

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to change your name
Or make your edges smooth
There’s room for every kind of heart
And there is room for you

[Chorus]
You deserve to be loved as you are
Not the shape they ask you to become
Every color, every scar
Every truth you carry in your heart
You deserve a place where you can breathe
No disguise, no apology
Let the whole world say what it will
You are worthy, you are worthy still

[Verse 2]
You laugh too loud, you dream too wide
You take the long way, choose your side
The mirror keeps your honest face
No rule can take its rightful place

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to earn your name
Or fit somebody’s view
There’s room for every kind of heart
And there is room for you

[Chorus]
You deserve to be loved as you are
Not the shape they ask you to become
Every color, every scar
Every truth you carry in your heart
You deserve a place where you can breathe
No disguise, no apology
Let the whole world say what it will
You are worthy, you are worthy still

[Bridge]
If they turn away, I’ll stay beside you
If you lose your words, I’ll wait with you
Nothing you can be could make you less
You don’t owe the world a smaller yes

[Final Chorus]
You deserve to be loved as you are
Not the shape they ask you to become
Every color, every scar
Every truth you carry in your heart
You deserve a place where you can breathe
No disguise, no apology
Let the whole world say what it will
You are worthy, you are worthy still

[Outro]
As you are
You are worthy still
