Plastic Beach

Lyrics

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