**[Intro – soft guitar, almost spoken]** You do that thing again Look away when somebody gets too close Like a compliment's a question And kindness has to have somewhere else to go Yeah... I noticed. **[Verse 1]** You walk in trying not to take up space Like somehow being seen is a mistake Pull at your sleeves, hide behind your hair Never noticing the whole room knows you're there You find the cracks before you see the light Count every reason someone might think twice You've spent so long believing what went wrong You never learned what was beautiful all along **[Pre-Chorus]** And I could tell you a thousand times But borrowed words won't change your mind So I won't tell you who to be I just wish you could borrow my eyes and see **[Chorus]** If you could see you Just for a minute from where I stand You'd stop apologising For every piece you think nobody understands You'd see the fire underneath the doubt The little smile you're always trying to hide somehow I don't love the parts you think you need to lose I just wish, for once You could see you **[Verse 2]** You think your strength is nothing special now Because surviving's just what you've always done somehow You laugh it off, say you're a little too much Then pull away the second somebody gives a fuck And maybe somewhere someone taught your heart That being wanted always comes with harder parts So when somebody stays without demanding a thing You don't know whether to trust it or run from what it means **[Pre-Chorus]** I won't chase you down and call it love Won't make you need me to feel enough You don't need saving, that's not the truth There's nothing missing — you're just hard on you **[Chorus]** If you could see you Just for a minute from where I stand You'd stop apologising For every piece you think nobody understands You'd see the fire underneath the doubt The little smile you're always trying to hide somehow I don't love the parts you think you need to lose I just wish, for once You could see you **[Bridge – music drops, raw vocal]** And maybe that's the hardest part You don't believe the mirror when it's kind You've heard the other version for so long Cruel voices start sounding like your own mind But beautiful isn't never being scared It isn't perfect skin or perfect hair It's showing up with history in your chest And somehow still giving the world your best So no — I won't put you on a pedestal I won't pretend you never fall I see the mess I see the fear I see the walls when I get near And none of it makes me see you less. **[Final Chorus – full band]** If you could see you God, you'd finally understand Why people turn toward your light While you're still staring at the ground where you stand You'd see that strength doesn't have to shout And every scar isn't something you should cut out There's nothing I could say that makes this truth more true You're already enough I just wish you knew Yeah, you're already enough Without somebody choosing you And maybe one day You won't need my eyes To see you. **[Outro – stripped back]** Until then... When you forget what you're worth I'll never tell you what you should see. I'll just remind you where to look.
