[Verse 1]
You told me the other day
You hate yourself and anxiety
Depressed, a mess to death
You'd open up and open wide with a smile
They told you it's clinical, but I seem so critical
I wish I could convince the thoughts
That you keep on believing were a lie
[Chorus 1]
There you go
Feeling so broken and alone
You walk with your head held so low
You wanna give in
Most the days and that's okay
I hope you see someday that you are beautiful anyway
[Verse 2]
You look in the mirror
Please try to see it clearer
How crazy and amazing you are and then let it inside
You can be scientific
Trust me, know I get it
But I won't agree when you tell me you don't deserve a life
[Chorus]
There you go
Feeling so broken and alone
You walk with your head held so low
You wanna give in
Most the days and that's okay
I hope you see someday that you are beautiful anyway
[Bridge]
Raise your hands
Take a second and breathe in
Singin' I'm here for a reason
Raise your hands
Take a second and breathe in
Singin' hallelujah, I'm known and loved
Singin' hallelujah, I'm known and loved
Singin' hallelujah, I'm known and loved
Raise your hands
Take a second and breathe in
Singin' I'm here for a reason
[Chorus 2]
And away you fly
Free with your head held so high
'Cause you never let up the fight
And you never gave in on those days
In the pain
[Outro]
That's what makes this life so wonderfully awesome
And horribly awful
Yet somehow, it's beautiful anyway
