You hide behind your hair again
Like the mirror told a lie
Tracing every "flaw" you think
Is something you should hide
You say you wish you looked like them
Scrollin' through your phone
But you don't see the light you have
That's yours and yours alone
You're comparing chapters
To someone else's page
But you've been magic
Since the day your heart was made
If you could see you like I do
You'd stop apologizing
For taking up the space you're meant to use
You're not too much, you're not too loud
You're not the things you doubt about
You're more than every mirror ever told you
Oh, if you could see you
You'd fall in love with you
You don't even know you glow
When you laugh too hard
Or how your eyes light up a room
Without even trying hard
You call yourself "just average"
But you don't understand
The way you make this world feel safe
Just by the way you stand
You're not a filter
You're not a trend
You're a once-in-a-lifetime kind of beautiful
Don't you forget
If you could see you like I do
You'd stop saying sorry
For not looking like somebody new
You're not too quiet, not too shy
You don't need to modify
A single little thing about you
Oh, if you could see you
You'd finally love you too
