Seems like every day now
You question your choices
I'm beggin' you baby
Don't listen to those voices
Everybody's preachin'
Just do it all but don't self-destruct
You rush rush rush
And work work work
But you still feel not enough
I'll keep wracking my brain
Tryin' to think up ways
To mend this fraying thread
Wishin' I was a modern Thoreau
But I came up with this instead
If you could see yourself
Through my eyes
Your self-esteem wouldn't be
So compromised
If you could feel the way
I love you
You'd forget all about
Your self-doubt
Forget about
Your self-doubt
Forget
Your self-doubt
Yesterday you told me
You were a little late
A shy smile crept across your face
For a moment we were in a different place
I hope you know
Whatever comes
I'll be right by your side
I'll keep wracking my brain
Tryin' to think up ways
To keep us goin' strong
Wishin' I was a modern Thoreau
But I guess I'll keep singin' along
If you could see yourself
Through my eyes
Your self-esteem wouldn't be
So compromised
If you could feel the way
I love you
You'd forget all about
Your self-doubt
You need to be everything
To everybody or so they say
When are we gonna give our hearts
Just a little more sway
Red eyes at 3 a.m.
And you always underplay it
But tears like a looking glass
Only put you into focus
If you could see yourself
Through my eyes
Your self-esteem wouldn't be
So compromised
If you could feel the way
I love you
You'd forget all about
Your self-doubt
Forget about
Your self-doubt
Forget
Your self-doubt
