What if I wrote a song that helped people be themselves
Would the radio play that?
What if I said that my old church put me through hell
Would I lose more friends because of that?
What if I started to sing what we're all thinking
Would anyone listen to that?
Keep tryna do me and stop playing someone else
But I keep holding back
I wanna be honest
But if I'm being honest
How much is too much?
And I wanna be confident
But I'm not, and
It's really hard to love
The version of me that you see
That someday I wanna be
And I wanna be
A little more authentic
But I'm apologizing
For trying to be
Unapologetic
What if I played piano instead of my guitar
Would that work down in Tennessee?
What if I ditched the flannel and all my Carhartt
Would I still be country?
What if I started to love the man I wanna love
Would I lose half my family?
Am I too bad for heaven, or too good for hell?
Which is better?
Tell me
Cuz I wanna be honest
But if I'm being honest
How much is too much?
And I wanna be confident
But I'm not, and
It's really hard to love
The version of me that you see
That someday I wanna be
And I wanna be
A little more authentic
But I'm apologizing
For trying to be
Unapologetic
Am I too bad for heaven, or too good for hell?
I'm sick of being so hard on myself
Instagram says they love me
But what does that mean
When I'm still getting to know the me that you see
That someday I wanna be
And I wanna be
Someone who's more authentic
And not apologize for trying to be
Unapologetic
I wanna be unapologetic
