Plastic Beach

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'd say Why do you say that babe You're my beautiful You're my heart And you're beautiful just this way When I took the time to tell you You took the time to listen to me too Now I see it, see it again I see I see my face 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 of the time it was the only thing that kept me going Other times, just a grip of shame Oh, you came along and showed me who I am What it means To be loved To be one To be loved To feel something Now I see, I see tomorrow I see, I see tomorrow And you're beautiful And you're beautiful just this way 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 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 --- Plastic Beach - Future Islands
