So I’ve gone ahead and added another favorite song to My Faves (top of the page). “Camouflage” by Brandy is seriously like my anthem. It’s just a really great song about being yourself no matter what. I don’t believe in being in relationships where you have to sacrifice your true self in order to be “happy.” The people in your life should accept you for everything you are (and aren’t) and if not, pack your bags and get the hell out of there. Life’s too short to spend your time pretending to be someone you’re not. Don’t hide who you are. You owe it to yourself. You’ll always finds someone who accepts you for just who you are and they wouldn’t want you any other way.

In addition to the amazing lyrics, I’m just obsessed with Brandy’s voice in general. No joke, I think she has one of the best voices in the music industry. And she kills it on this song (especially towards the end). No one belts quite like she does. What a great song. Thanks girl.

I won’t camouflage.

Brandy - Camouflage

These flaws I´ve got
They’re apart of who I am
Take me or not
But I finally understand
And I´m so done trying to be everything you want
Cause I had to stop
Because baby you ain´t worth it
If I gotta camouflage for love
No I won’t camouflage for love
I won’t camouflage

Brandy - Camouflage

I need a lot of improvement
Not even half way to destiny
But I’m a train that’s moving
And everyday I’m picking up speed
And god knows you ain’t perfect
So who are you to put pressure on me
That’s why I’m still searching
For somebody to love me with
These flaws I got

Brandy - Camouflage

I’m a work in progress
I’m a seed grown into a flower
I’m a storm that’s rising
Getting stronger with every hour
And god knows i ain’t perfect
Tell me who in the world is
All i know is that i’m searching
For somebody to love me with
These flaws I’ve got
