[Verse 1: Walker Hayes]
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?

[Chorus: Lela Hayes]
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
[Verse 2: Walker Hayes]
To all the people I've wasted time comparing myself to
If I hate it, it's 'cuz I was jealous of you
Just 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

[Chorus: Lela Hayes]
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

[Bridge: Walker Hayes]
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
[Chorus: Lela Hayes & Walker Hayes]
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
