Brilliant Still

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

For every time you hate yourself

For all the ways you gave yourself

When you can't look in the mirror

Heart's ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

And the night it calls again

You're a stranger in your skin

I wish you'd see yourself the way I do

You're my light I wish you knew

So afraid you're not enough

Everyday another cut

You wouldn't love yourself, you wouldn't dare

Why's it hurt so much to care?

Now it's Friday

You've got your best on

But you're still looking for a reason to stay home, TV on

All your courage gone

For every time you hate yourself

For all the ways you gave yourself

When you can't look in the mirror

Heart's ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

For all the teardrops in your hands

For every time you wanted to dance

When you can't look in the mirror

Hearts ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

Every insecurity

Let me chase them out your dreams

You keep me steady like some kinda pill

I'll do the same for you I will

On a Friday

When all your fires gone

And you're looking for a reason to give up

Hold on

'Cause you're not the only one

For every time you hate yourself

For all the ways you gave yourself

When you can't look in the mirror

Heart's ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

For all the teardrops in your hands

For every time you wanted to dance

When you can't look in the mirror

Hearts ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

You are

You are

You are

Yeah, you are

For every time you hate yourself

For all the ways you gave yourself

When you can't look in the mirror

Heart's ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

For all the teardrops in your hands

For every time you wanted to dance

When you can't look in the mirror

Hearts ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

For every time you hate yourself

For all the ways you gave yourself

When you can't look in the mirror

Heart's ready to spill

I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still
