Trust Yourself Lyrics by Selena Gomez Selena Gomez
Below, you will find the lyrics for Trust Yourself by Selena Gomez.
Hi, guys, how are you?
So good to see you guys, so you guys having a good night?
I have to say that it's such an honour to be here, it is
I'm so happy to be here
I'm like a nerd and brought my own speech but I hope it's OK
That I take this opportunity
To really just spend with you guys and tell you a little bit
About my story
I'm not an activist, I haven't changed the world
Or led a campaign, I'm here to
Just tell you my path, so that you hopefully can take
Something away from it, because
I don't like being honest with this is a truth
I don't like being honest with
Press and interviews, I like being honest with you
Directly, which is each and every
One of you
Because I feel like I can and I'm just going to start
With the basics, so I'm 21 and
My mom had, my mom had me when she was 16
And I'm from Grand Prairie, Texas, and she worked four jobs
And completely dedicated
Her life into making mine better
So, to me, she is the definition of a strong woman
And I love her so much
Because she's taught me those values so much
Thank you
I have been acting my entire life and I have known
Since I was first on Barney, you know
That purple dinosaur, he's great
You guys are so motivated, I feel like I can say anything!
When I was eleven, the point being is that when I was seven
I wanted to be an actress
And I wanted to live my dream
And when I was eleven I had a casting director tell that
I wasn't strong enough to carry
My own show
And I'm sure all of you have been told that you don't have
What it takes and you may
Not be good enough and you don't have enough people
Supporting you and you've been told
All of these things when deep down it's all you want to do
You want to be a part of something great
You want to make something great
And it does more than not the wind out of you and crushes
You when people try to tell
You that you're not good enough
And it almost did for me but there was my mom next to me
Stronger than ever
And she said the most important thing is to always trust in myself
If I have, if I'm doing something because I love it
I should do it because I love it
And I believe that I can do it
So she told me to keep going, thank you, she told me
And she taught me to turn the other
Cheek and let the credits, the critics be critics
And let us just trust ourselves
So for me, thank you, two years later, I got my own show
And the first thought, the first
Thought wasn't man, that girl when I was eleven said
That I wouldn't carry
My own show and I did, I mean, I thought about that
For a little bit, but I thought about
What my mom said
My mom is like you have to trust yourself and I realized
That if I didn't believe
That I could do it, I wouldn't be able to be here
And I have, I'm going to say I live a very blessed life
I have so much to be thankful
For and a lot of you are big part of inspiring me because
I don't think you get it and
Maybe you're not old enough, but you inspire me to be better
And we should inspire each
Other to be better
I'm surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me
And some of them have and others haven't
They pressure me, there's so much pressure
You've got to be sexy, you've got to be
Cute, you've got to be nice, you've got to be all these things!
And I'm sure you can all relate, you all have pressure
That you have to deal with every day
I'm sure at school, at work, with friends, with parents
With family, with parents, I know
Sometimes with mine, they tell me what to wear, how to look
What I should say, how I should be
Until recently, I had given in to that pressure
I lost sight of who I was
I listened to opinions of people and I tried to change
Who I am because I thought that
Others would accept me for it
And I realized I don't know how to be anything but myself
And all I really want you to know is that
You are changing the world, I'm not changing
The world, you're changing the world and that's amazing!
Please, please just be kind to each other and love
And inspire people because let's do it!
Let's do it, let's change the game, let's change the game!
The most important thing is that we learn and we continue
To learn from each other
Please stay true to yourself, please just remain
Who you are and know that we have each
Other's back, all of us have each other's back
I'd be lying if I said that I never tried to make myself
Better by giving in, because
I have, but I've learned from my actions
And for all of the things I've done I'm
Proudest of that I've learnt from my mistakes
I want you to know what it's like that I know what it's like
Figuring out what types of friends you have, you are
Who you surround yourself with
So I just want to say I hope I can inspire each and every one
Of you to just trust in yourselves
To love and to be loved
And thank you for allowing me to come up and ramble
And talk to you guys because this is such a beautiful thing
You're doing
Be proud of yourselves
This is great!
