Shoutouts to the lyrics Kari wrote that I was too lazy to put in. Maybe I will for the album version LOL

______

I look at who you are
and things that you have done,
and what I see is a star
whose brightest days have yet to come

But when you look at yourself
remembering your defeats
you see someone who fell
and never got back on his feet

I look at what you do
and the milestones that you hit,
and I can't help but be proud and impressed

But you can't see it too
you think that none of it's worth shit
'cause you compare yourself to the very best



And it's something I can't change, but...

I wish that I could make you see yourself
the way I see you
I wish that I could make you love yourself
the way I do
And when you look in the mirror, the person on the other side,
I know that they are nothing like who you are in my eyes
And if it comes to this and you can't love yourself enough
I'll have to love you twice as much



The struggle to exist
I know what it is like
'cause the world, it wasn't built
for brains that work like yours or mine

It's hard to find your way
or even just survive
when every single day
you just keep having to fight

In a world which defines us by our worth to the economy
it's hard to prove your right to exist
But the fight's already lost if you're your own worst enemy
putting roadblocks on your path to happiness



And it's not up to me, but...

I wish that I could make you see yourself
the way I see you
I wish you wouldn't put yourself through hell
the way you do
The good things that I see in you, well I could name a ton
but when I asked you for three you couldn't even think of one
But if it comes to this and you can't love yourself enough
I'll have to love you twice as much



And you're worth it
I'm asking you to trust me
you deserve to be happy
'cause you're worth it
And if you're not always working
that doesn't mean you're less deserving



I wish that I could make you see yourself
the way I see you
I wish that I could make you love yourself
the way I do

And when everything seems lost again and you don't know where to go
please remember you don't have to do it all alone
The battle's hardly over, but you'll fight it with your friends
There are many people here who will support you till the end

So many people...
