Plastic Beach

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 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 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 Oh, you came along and showed me who I am What it means 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 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 What you saw today
