[Intro]
Yeah
Mm
Look
[Verse 1]
I got a question
If I strip the mask, would you stay?
If I tremble when I talk
Would you turn or would you wait?
Every scar on my story
Got a name, got a date
I been praying for a mirror
That don't bend, don't break
I been loud in the noise
Still hiding my hurt
Turned my heart into armor
Turned my truth into work
But the quiet in my chest
Keep tugging on my shirt
Like "you keep asking them to see you
You won't see you first" (yeah)
[Chorus]
See me clearly
I start with me
Every gift, every fear
Every cracked belief
If I'm longing to be known
I can't leave me alone
I look inside and say
"I see you, I see you"
See me clearly
I start with me
All the dreams I buried
All the weird in me
If I'm begging you to stay
I can't push me away
I look inside and say
"I choose you, I choose you"
[Verse 2]
Show up tiny
You ain't gotta save the world today
Make the bed, drink the water
Send that text you scared to say
Write that verse in your notebook
Even if it sound strange
Every small honest moment
Is a doorway to change
Name the weight on your back
Call the shame by its name
Let the tears hit your hands
Let 'em wash off the blame
When you sit with your shadow
And you don't walk away
Your soul taps on the table like
"Finally, you stayed" (oh)
[Chorus]
See me clearly
I start with me
Every gift, every fear
Every cracked belief
If I'm longing to be known
I can't leave me alone
I look inside and say
"I see you, I see you"
See me clearly
I start with me
All the dreams I buried
All the weird in me
If I'm begging you to stay
I can't push me away
I look inside and say
"I choose you, I choose you"
[Bridge]
You want someone to recognize
But you skip over your own eyes
You keep scrolling just to hide
From the one you keep inside
Tell the kid in your reflection
"They were wrong about your light"
Every time you stand beside you
That’s a revolution quiet
[Chorus]
See me clearly
I start with me
Every gift, every fear
Every cracked belief
If I'm longing to be known
I can't leave me alone
I look inside and say
"I see you, I see you"
See me clearly
I start with me
All the dreams I buried
All the weird in me
If I'm begging you to stay
I can't push me away
I look inside and say
"I choose you, I choose you"
