Beautiful, I watch you try

To see yourself through others' eyes

But mirrors are a losing game

They only show you backwards anyway.

The magic and the misery

Come and go so easily

But everything you'll ever be

You already are to me.

And you were only five years old

Playing princess in your mother's clothes

Could you feel me standing next to you

With my plastic sword and playground shoes.

Saying "If my dear I'm wrong somehow

May dragons come and fell me now

'cause everything you'll ever be

You already are to me".

Why, I don't know why

I don't know why you think you need to do it

How, I don't know how

I don't know how but I just sit back and I see my way right through it.

When the memories stand ten feet tall

Casting shadows on your bedroom wall

When you pull the shades and kill the lights

Will you hear me singing out tonight?

Will you hear me singing out tonight?

Days are long and words are cruel

But they won't get the best of you

'cause everything you'll ever be

You have always been to me

Always been to me.
