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
