Lyrics for Jessie J – Who You Are
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
No, no, no, no, noDon’t lose it all in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It’s okay not to be okay
Sometimes it’s hard to follow your heartTears don’t mean you’re losing
Everybody’s bruising
Just be true to who you areWho you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are, who you are
Who you are, who you are, who you areBrushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less it’s working, yeah, yeah, yeah
‘Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, noDon’t lose it all in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It’s okay not to be okay
Sometimes it’s hard to follow your heartBut tears don’t mean you’re losing
Everybody’s bruising
There’s nothing wrong with who you areYes, no’s, egos, fake shows like boom
Just go and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good luck, good night
With a smile, that’s my home, that’s my home, no
No, no, no, no, noDon’t lose it all in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It’s okay not to be okay
Sometimes it’s hard to follow your heartTears don’t mean you’re losing
Everybody’s bruising
Just be true to who you are
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Listen to: Jessie J – Who You Are
The video features Jessie in front of the camera as if it was her mirror in a bedroom. She is wearing a grey top with a black sports bra underneath. An en suite is visible in the background. Various angles of her singing are used throughout, e.g on the bath in the en suite, on the floor, on the bed, etc. A mirror can be seen above left of the bed. Jewellery at the end of the bed, and on a bed-side locker, amongst other places are shown.
As Jessie begins to sing the final bridge, water begins to drip in front of her face. As the water intensifies, she wipes a drop from under her eye, as if she was crying. The entire room begins to be rained on, and wind begins to blow. Jessie is completely soaking wet. Lights on the wall, and the lamp on her locker begin to spark, and turn off. The wind moves the jewellery off the bed and locker, taking the lamp with it. The mirror on the wall shakes. The video ends as the rain dies down, while Jessie remains looking in her mirror.
