Embrace 04:37
When I look in the mirror, those voices inside my head Where did they come from? And why do I believe the things they said? They always tell me that I’m not good enough So I’m not listening anymore, unless the voice is love Cause I am the best that I can ever be When I say “I love every single part of me” How long have I been trying to be like someone else? When the only thing I have to change is the way I see myself When a magazine’s open, perfection is all we see But who decided that’s what beauty really means We’re always striving to be something that’s not even real So I’m not looking there anymore, that’s not how I want to feel Cause I am the best that I can ever be When I say “I love every single part of me” How long have I been trying to be like someone else? When the only thing I have to change is the way I see myself Look in your sub conscious And the answer is inside us With a little more awareness I believe that we can change this When you look at your sisters, brothers, parents, children too Sometimes projecting the judgements we put ourselves through We gotta remember kindness is magical spell Our love can reach the rest of the world if we truly love ourselves Cause you do the best thing you could ever do When you say “I love every single part of you” How long have I been judging everybody else When the only thing I have to do is learn, learn to love ourselves

I never really understood what you were saying And why your confidence was fading He never really took the time to see what’s deeper He couldn’t really see her I walked alone and didn’t even see the problem That needed urgent solving When in the mirror all you see is imperfection Then all you’ll feel’s rejection CHORUS: Beautiful people Don’t have perfect parts They don’t come in sizes They come with beautiful hearts The most beautiful people That I’ve ever met Love themselves No matter what the world says How many times I had believed what they had told me Without even knowing That buried deep within my sense of self-assurance There was a gross disturbance In the back of my mind A subconscious understanding Something’s wrong with me if I don’t look the same Spend your life believing All the lies they tell you You’re never good enough and that you have to change CHORUS And all the people that are searching for your defects Well they can’t love themselves unless they’re perfect So how much love can they feel if we’re being honest Because nobody’s flawless CHORUS

You sucked me in I’m hooked on you I can’t win No matter what I do You’re all around me Everywhere I look It’s not fair You’re a snake Setting traps all over the place Never showing your face You’re killing us slowly, Sometimes quickly Don’t you care? But that’s how you wanna live your life CHORUS You want me hungry and horny Crawling up to you and begging for another spoon of it You want me stupid and lonely But I think we’ve all had just about enough of it We all pay For the insults you spit in our face Intelligence waste Nobody needs you Nobody wants you In their life I’m so sick and tired of your lies! CHORUS BRIDGE I know I’m not alone Maybe we all feel this way But we don’t know what to do Where to go or what to say My new choice I’ve decided to tune out Your voice Inside I rejoice Nobody needs you Nobody wants you In their life I’m so sick and tired of your lies! CHORUS x2

I know you’re looking at me You just can’t help it I know you want me so bad You just can’t help it Cause I’ve got my thick socks on That really turns you on Flat shoes and comfortable jeans I know how to sell it This is how I do it and you wonder how Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now I don’t need nobody here to check me out I’m so hot right now I know you love my scarf You love the way I wear it You know, around my neck That’s normally how you would wear it There’s nothing more sexy Than practicality My cardigan won’t come off Cos its kindof cold in here This is how I do it and you wonder how Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now Don’t need to be skinny or well endowed I’m so hot right now This is how I do it and you wonder how All the fellas tell me I’m so hot right now Even with some pimples and a monobrow I’m so hot right now And as this party gets hotter I grab my bottle of water That’s how I roll I’m just crazy Oh yeah hydrating This is how I do it and you wonder how Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now I don’t need nobody here to check me out I’m so hot right now This is how I do it and you wonder how Everybody tells me I’m so hot right now I don’t need nobody here to check me out I’m so hot right now This is how I do it and you wonder how All the fellas tell me I’m so hot right now Don’t need to be skinny or well endowed I’m so hot right now
