[Verse 1] I used to stare at the mirror Counting every little crack Every word they ever said Playing back Playing back [Pre-Chorus] But then I saw old photos Laugh lines I’d tried to hide I was shining even then Didn’t even know why [Chorus] I think I was wonderful Long before I knew Walking through the hallway In my worn-out shoes Every awkward moment Every quiet room I think I was wonderful And I just never knew [Verse 2] All the times I stayed silent Thought I had to take up less space Didn’t see the way my kindness Lit the corners of the place [Pre-Chorus] Now I’m holding all those versions Like a box of scattered stars Whispering to every one You were perfect as you are [Chorus] [Bridge] Here’s to every younger self Who thought they had to prove You were more than just enough You were golden You were true [low vocal register] I was golden I was true [Chorus]
