[Verse 1]
She sits and looks,
Through another self-help book.
Puts names to another hundred demons,
Workin’ on that long long list of reasons -
All the ways she ain’t good enough.
Like why’s she so damn hard to love?
And why’s she always givin’ up?
Why’s she the last t’speak her mind,
But she’ll blame herself most every time.
[Chorus]
She sees the scars - I see the fight.
She sees what’s wrong - I see what’s right.
She thinks she’s just beyond repair,
But I see her still standin’ there.
Oh, she sees the cracks - I see the light.
She sees the end - I see the start.
I see her heart.
She thinks she’s just beyond repair,
But I see her still standin’ there.
[Verse 2]
She sits and looks,
In another mirrored nook.
Fallin’ prey to her own gaze,
Pointing out another hundred ways -
Why her body ain’t good enough.
Like why’s she different than at prom?
Or why she’s shaped like someone’s Mom.
Oh, she’s ashamed of growin’ lines,
Like bein’ real’s some kinda crime.
[Bridge]
But I see grace in every line,
And strength in what the world calls time.
She don’t know her glow ain’t tied to youth,
Wish she could see her like I do.
Instead she just -
Overthinks each little thing,
Thinks love’s a test and she can’t win.
Worried she might drag me down too far,
Like girl, no you’re my northern star.
[Chorus]
She sees the scars - I see the fight.
She sees what’s wrong - I see what's right.
She thinks she’s just beyond repair,
But I see her still standin’ there.
Oh, she sees cracks - I see the light.
She sees the end - I see the start.
I see her heart.
She thinks she’s just beyond repair,
But I see her still standin’ there.
[Outro]
Yeah, she's the reason I'm still breathin'
In this air.
Oh, yes you are - my northern star.
