Heard It from a Friend

I know it's hard to see yourself, the way I do

And no one's harder on themselves than you

But maybe for a minute, you could let the truth sink in

Would you believe it if you heard it from a friend?

Did you know you have the greatest laugh in town?

Did you know we're better off when you're around?

Did you know you brighten up every room you're in?

You might believe it, if you heard it from a friend

So, here I am holding up a mirror

Hoping you might see

Yourself a little clearer

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

From where I'm standing now

I see the light in you

There will always be some critic in the back

Shouting his opinion like a fact

Oh, but look who's fallen and getting up again

Won't you listen?

Will you hear it from a friend?

Here I am holding up a mirror

Hoping you might see

Yourself a little clearer

Beyond a shadow of a doubt

From where I'm standing now

I see the fight in you

Well, tomorrow I might start to lose my way

And forget what I was sure of yesterday

Will you remind me, the sun will shine again?

When I can't see it

But I would believe it

Oh, I could believe it, if I heard it from a friend
