may we all learn to love ourselves just as we are

lyrics

[VERSE 1]

You know I’d cross a thousand oceans
I’d brave the waters for you
I’d walk through tongues of fire with a smile on my face
No there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do

[PRE-CHORUS]

But even though I’d give you my everything
I can’t give you all that I am

[CHORUS]

Oh I wish that when you looked at me
Oh you’d see the perfect girl you want me to be
But I can’t change this piece of me and I’m tired of trying
I’m tired of crying
Could you love me just as I am?

[VERSE 2]

I’ve spent years trying to keep quiet
For your sake I’ve been trying to hide it by lying
But I still want to find love just like everyone else
Yeah I just want what you already have for yourselves

[PRE-CHORUS]

But you keep pushing me away you won’t understand
I don’t wanna get thrown out for holding her hand

[CHORUS]

Oh I wish that when you looked at me
Oh you’d see the perfect girl you want me to be
But I can’t change this piece of me and I’m tired of trying
I’m tired of crying
Could you love me just as I am?

[BRIDGE]

Maybe one day I can come out into the light
Maybe I can stand tall with pride
Instead of fighting and fighting
To keep my heart at bay
Don’t you know this battle’s in vain?

[OUTRO]

You know I’d cross a thousand oceans
I’d brave the waters for you
But trying to force my heart to love someone new
That’s the one thing you can’t ask me to do
