Lyrics

Some days I'm smiling, but inside I cry

I laugh with my friends, then I don't know why

I feel like a wave crashing into the shore

A thousand emotions, but they just see one or more

They ask, "What's wrong?" but I can't explain

It's not just sadness, not just pain

It's joy and fear and love and doubt

All tangled up, trying to get out

I'm more than one feeling, more than one face

It's normal to feel like you're all over the place

Don't call me strange, I'm just growing inside

This is what it looks like when you're learning to ride

Through the storm and into the sun

I'm not broken, I'm just more than one

Sometimes I'm quiet, sometimes I shout

Sometimes I'm certain, then I'm full of doubt

But every mood is a part of me

I'm not a mess, I'm just learning to be free

You don't have to choose just one way to feel

It's all part of life, it's messy but real

You're not alone in the way you react

Growing up's not clean, and that's just a fact

I'm more than one feeling, more than one face

It's normal to feel like you're all over the place

Don't call me strange, I'm just growing inside

This is what it looks like when you're learning to ride

Through the storm and into the sun

I'm not broken, I'm just more than one

You don't need to hide or pretend you're okay

It's brave to feel deeply in every way

You're not too much, you're just becoming you

And feeling it all is what helps you break through

We're more than one feeling, more than one face

It's normal to feel like we're all over the place

We're not strange, we're just growing inside

This is what it looks like when you're learning to ride

Through the storm and into the sun

We're not broken, we're just more than one

Yeah, we're not broken

We're just more than one
