I Love You for Being You
I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try
I know you think I don’t know you That the version I see is a lie That you can never change or grow No matter how hard you try
You can’t always see the light you wield How brightly it shines how far it reaches
You made a friend You grew close together Spending so much time living your lives with one another
It’s hard to be you to be honest, be true when people want you to change when they only see you as strange
It’s okay to be weak You’re allowed a break Sometimes life is too much to take
Even on the days when the people you love aren’t there Know that wherever they are they all still care
Even when I feel scared or the many times I feel unprepared I want to open up, I want you to see The person I am, the real me
Not long ago You were always alone And no matter how you tried Nothing seemed to change that
You think there’s so much wrong with you That no one could possibly accept the real you So you bury it all deep down below Where no one will ever be able to go But despite everything “wrong”, you can still sparkle Because you see, all of this is completely normal
Everything was beautiful Bright, happy, colorful Full of sparkling, magical wonder I started to smile again Thought that maybe I could fit in And the joy would chase away the thunder Gone were the storms I’d known for so long And I believed with my whole being that I could belong
