The Way I See

You remind me of a girl who i once knew
She was better than me at sport and the things most boys would do
And she never would've stood down from a fight
I'll admit she gave me one or two black eyes

But she was honest and spoke her mind
Even said the things that no one wants to hear
I thought she was one of a kind but i was wrong
And it was you who made that clear

You're perfect as you are, and that's how i'd like to be
If you could see yourself in the way i see

You would doubt it, but you're the coolest friend to have
In a world where no one really gets your back
Yes it's true i lose my balance when you're around
Trying not to look as silly as i sound

I'm tired of all these people
Who think that they have really done it hard
They write songs, create obscure bits of art
When there was no inspiration from the start

But what i really love is how simple you make it seem
To see straight through their lies in the way you see

You're perfect as you are, and that's how i wish i could be
If you could see yourself in the way i see
