Nathan Manaker - Note to Self Lyrics

Right now, you feel like a bit of a mess
You don't take rejection well
Cuz you blame it on yourself
And it sucks that you can't always be the best
But give it time and you'll feel better
Brush it off like it's whatever
Maybe you're not perfect
Maybe you get really sad sometimes
And some nights you just don't know what to do
But please trust that people like you
If you're sad, that don't define you
You'll just grow from it
And trust me, I'm the proof
Right now, I bet that you think you're alone
You think, how could people love me
When they're all so far above me
But you're part of stories you don't even know
And with all the dreams you're chasing
You'll be someone's inspiration
Maybe you're not perfect
Maybe you get really sad sometimes
And some nights you just don't know what to do
But please trust that people like you
If you're sad, that don't define you
You'll just grow from it
And trust me, I'm the proof
It's all just about your perspective
The bad things seem worse when it's what you expected
Sometimes it's okay if you feel disconnected
The way people see you will not be affected
And sure, you might not always feel like you're needed
But think about all of the ways you've succeeded
When you beat yourself up and think you're defeated
That's not the way everybody will see it
I know I'm not perfect
I get really, really sad sometimes
And some nights I just don't know what to do
But I trust that people like me
So my sadness won't define me
Cuz I'm proud of who I am and that's the truth
I hope you're proud of you
