# TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF [Intro] [Soft, breathy vocal] [Slow, spacious delivery] Take a look... Take a look at yourself... [Verse 1] You walk around like you know it all Never hear the words when somebody calls Got a mirror hanging on your wall But you don't see yourself at all You point your finger at everyone else Keep your secrets locked inside yourself You say the world is treating you wrong But you've been singing that same old song [Pre-Chorus] Slow down... Let the silence speak Look inside... At the face you never see [Chorus] Take a look at yourself Tell me what you see Take away the stories Take away the fantasy Take a look at yourself When nobody's around Are you proud of who you are When there ain't nobody else to blame? [Verse 2] You've been running from the truth so long Building up walls just to prove you're strong Every little lie that you tell Leaves another crack in the shell You want love but you push it away You want peace but you live for the chase You keep searching for somebody to save you When the only one who can change you is you [Pre-Chorus] Slow down... Let the silence speak Look inside... At the face you never see [Chorus] Take a look at yourself Tell me what you see Take away the stories Take away the fantasy Take a look at yourself When nobody's around Are you proud of who you are When there ain't nobody else to blame? [Bridge] [Beat drops back] [Almost whispered] Maybe you're tired... Maybe you're scared... Maybe you've been carrying More than you can bear... But the truth don't disappear Just because you close your eyes [Pause] So open them... [Final Chorus] [Gradually building] [Layered vocals] Take a look at yourself Tell me what you see There's a whole world inside you Waiting to be free Take a look at yourself Don't turn away now You can't change yesterday But you can change somehow Take a look at yourself Take a breath... Let it go... Take a look at yourself And finally... Get to know your soul [Outro] [Beat fades] [Echoing vocal] Take a look... Take a look at yourself... No more running... No more hiding... Take a look at yourself...
