"Transform" lyrics

"Transform"

Ooooooohhh
Ooooooohhh

Beauty feels ugly sometimes
These are just words that we use to define
And it keeps talking, talking, talking
I can't stop the voice in my mind
That makes beauty feel ugly sometimes

I got a voice I wanna scream
I gotta own every part of me
All for the sake of love

I, I don't wanna hate
I wanna adore
And appreciate the pieces on the floor, yeah
I, I don't wanna change
I wanna transform
Be me but better than I was before
Be better, better
I wanna transform
Be me but better than I was before

I'm not what was or what will be
I create my identity
So I keep going, going, going
You never know where it could all lead
It's time I should let it be

I, I don't wanna hate
I wanna adore
And appreciate the pieces on the floor, yeah
I, I don't wanna change
I wanna transform
Be me but better than I was before
Be better, better
I wanna transform
Be me but better than I was before

And it takes time
Swimming up against the ocean tide, oh
And I'm so tired
I won't stay quiet, no, I keep on fighting
I keep on fighting

I got a voice I wanna scream
I got a choice I'm choosing me
All for the sake of love

I, I don't wanna hate (don't wanna hate, no)
I wanna adore
And appreciate the pieces on the floor, yeah
I, I don't wanna change
I wanna transform
Be me but better than I was before
Be better, better
I wanna transform
Be me but better than I was before
Ooooohhh
Ooooohhh
Be me but better than I was before
