Beautiful, I watch you try
To see yourself through others' eyes
The mirrors are a losing game
They only show you backwards anyway

Chorus:

The magic and the misery
Come and go so easily
But everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

Verse 2:

You were only five years old
Playing princess in your mother's clothes
Could you feel me standing next to you
With my plastic sword and playground shoes

Chorus 2:

Saying "if my dear I'm wrong somehow,
May dragons come and fell me now."
Because everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

Bridge:

Why
I don't know why
I don't know why you think you need to do it
How
I don't know how
I don't know how but
I just sit back and I see my way right through it

Verse 3:

When the memories are ten feet tall
Throwing shadows on your bedroom wall
When you pull the shades and kill the lights

Pre-Chorus:

Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Will you hear me singing out tonight?

Chorus 3:

Days are long and words are cruel
They won't get the best of you
Cause everything you'll ever be
You have always been to me, yeah yeah

Outro:

Always been to me, yeah, yeah
Always been to me, yeah
Always, oh oh
Always been to me, yeah, yeah
Always been to me
