Glee Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And darkness still inside you
Make you feel so small
And I see your true colors
Shinin' through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow.
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy,
Can't remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You can call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors,
True colors, are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Ah ah ah
Can't remember when I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
You've taken all you can bear
You call me up (call me up)
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through (I see 'em shining through)
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you (that's why I love you)
So don't be afraid (afraid) to let them show
Your true colors, true colors
I see your true colors are shining through (yeah)
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid (afraid) to let them show
Your true colors
True colors, true colors
Are beautiful, like a rainbow

You with the sad eyes
I know you're feeling down
Don't be discouraged
Don't lose hope
Oh I realize
I understand
It's hard to take courage
It's difficult to be brave
In a world full of people
When everyone around you is going through their own struggles
You can lose sight of it all
You can forget what's truly important
And darkness still inside you
Your own negativity and pain
Make you feel so small
That can make you feel insignificant
And I see your true colors
I see who you truly are
Shinin' through
Your positive qualities are radiating
And that's why I love you
That's why I care about you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Don't hide who you are
Your true colors
Your genuine self
True colors are beautiful,
The real you is wonderful
Like a rainbow.
Just like a beautiful rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Let me see you happy
Don't be unhappy,
Don't be sad
If this world makes you crazy
If the world is too much to handle
And you've taken all you can bear
If you've reached your limit
You can call me up
You can reach out to me
Because you know I'll be there
Because I'll be here to support you
And I'll see your true colors
I'll witness your authentic self
I see 'em shining through
I see those positive qualities radiating
True colors, true colors
Your genuine self
Are beautiful, like a rainbow
Just like a beautiful rainbow
