Hi Blue Jay, can you tell me the meaning of it is this case:
"You were meant to be the way you are exactly"
This sentence is in song "Stay the same"

Literally it means the way you are is the way you were designed or intended to be. More loosely, it is saying you are exactly as you should be; the way you are is perfect, you should not wish to be any other way, nor try to change anything about yourself or try to be something you are not.
