Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Spent a lifetime in the mirror
Always afraid of what someone else would say
I wanted to be strong so I took some time to tell you
But you knew from the things I said
Why do you say that, babe?
You're my beautiful
You're my heart
And you're beautiful just this way
[Verse 2]
When I took the time to tell you
You took the time to listen to me too
Now I see, I see today
I see, I see my face
[Verse 3]
Spent a lifetime in the mirror
Picking apart what I couldn't change
And I saw my mother, my father, my brother
In my face
In my face
[Verse 4]
Most the times it was the only thing that kept me going
Other times, just the grip of shame
Oh, you came along and showed me who I am
Wanted means
To be loved
To be one
To be loved
To feel some
[Verse 5]
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
And you're my beautiful
And you're beautiful just this way
[Verse 6]
When I took the time to tell you
You took the time to listen to me too
[Verse 7]
Now I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
[Verse 8]
I spent a lifetime in the mirror
Picking apart what I couldn't change
[Verse 9]
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
I see, I see tomorrow
What you saw today
