I can see you're hurting,
I can see your pain.
I can see the life; from your beautiful eyes,
Starting to drain.
But you can't let go ( you can't let go!)
But you can't let go (you can't let go!)
'Cause you're so strong,
So beautiful!
You just want to be acceptable,
But everyone, everyone loves you,
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
This obsession you have,
You're striving for perfection,
But perfection is only in the eyes of God,
You're holding yourself to the impossible,
And even though you take me granted,
I'm dying with you every step of the way.
'Cause you're so strong,
So beautiful!
You just want to be acceptable,
But everyone, everyone loves you,
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
You're so thin,
Yet you starve your self so much!
I look in, and I see your broken-ness!
I wish you would believe the words that I say,
You'll be okay, you'll make it someday.
You'll be okay, you'll be okay.
You just can't give in!
'Cause you're so strong,
So beautiful!
You just want to be acceptable,
But everyone, everyone loves you,
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
I'm trying to hold you up,
But I feel like I'm gonna fall soon!
And you should never ever ever give up,
The grief would drive me crazy as a loon.
'Cause you're so strong,
So beautiful!
You just want to be acceptable,
But everyone, everyone loves you,
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
I remember the last time we talked,
I argued with you as we walked,
But the only reason why I'm blunt,
Is because I can't reach you with other stunts,
And I'm sorry if I get angry,
But I've been going crazy,
'Coz I can't stand to see you hurting,
But nothing I say is working.
'Cause you're so strong,
So beautiful!
You just want to be acceptable,
But everyone, everyone loves you,
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
I wish you would love the you that I see,
That everyone else is falling for,
But that you hate to look in the mirror for,
You're beautiful, beautiful, yes you are.
'Cause you're so strong,
So beautiful!
You just want to be acceptable,
But everyone, everyone loves you,
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
So why can't you just love yourself?
