Skin and Bones

You said you knew the way, the way to find yourself 
But what you did instead, was imitate the rest 
When you look into the mirror everyday, what do you see? 
And when you thought that you were turning gray I knew you were mistaken 

You will see that you're reaching for lies 
It’s not worth changing for 
You are loved 
You are so beautiful exactly as you are 

You wonder why you’re lost 
You’ve torn your skin from bone 
The person you've become is not like you at all 
When you stare into the mirror every night, what do you see? 
carbon copy, not a candle burning bright 
So set the flame 

You will see that you're reaching for lies 
It’s not worth changing for 
You are loved 
You are so beautiful exactly as you are 

You’re blinded by light You’ve got to keep hope 
Whatever you become, I know I can say That you aren’t a bitter soul That you can just let love in 
That you’re in a troubled state but the light’s at the end 
That you have a heart within 
And true beauty radiates from your soul I just wanted you to know 

You will see that you're reaching for lies 
It’s not worth changing for 
You are loved 
You are so beautiful exactly as you are
