You look me in the eye and
You smile at me so shy
You hide your face from me
Cover it up with a mask
You know I can't stop staring
You know I think you're perfect
So why can't you see yourself too?
You see yourself as shallow
I see you as beautiful
You see yourself as hopeless
I see a dazzling star
You see yourself as ruthless
I see you as hope
You see yourself as imperfect
But I see you for who you are
You dodge the camera
As it shines in your eyes
You weep when you see yourself
In the photo book
Why do you cry when you see yourself?
Utterly perfect and irreplaceable
You see yourself as shallow
I see you as beautiful
You see yourself as hopeless
I see a dazzling star
Because that's what you are
And that's all you'll ever be
Even when you don't see the light
At the end of the tunnel
You'll always be perfect to me
