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
