New Eyes feat. Lizzo
Clean Bandit Feat. Lizzo Lyrics

In the quiet of my room
Alone in my room, I'm reflecting on my thoughts and questions.

I gather up my thoughts and questions
I'm trying to make sense of my thoughts and find answers for my questions.

Could I ever be like you?
I wonder if I can be like someone, who is real and true.

Could I ever be a person, so real and so true?
I'm questioning my capability of being real and true to myself and others.

It seems implausible
It feels unlikely or impossible for me to be like that person.

I look at my reflection
I'm looking at myself in the mirror.

If only I could say
I wish I could express myself better.

The things I never mention
I have things in my mind that I never express or talk about with others.

The things you never knew
There are things that I haven't told you.

And I'd like to thank you for the human I've become
I'm grateful to you for helping me become a better person.

I'm sorry if I've let you down
I apologize if I haven't lived up to your expectations.

There was a girl who loved the world deeply.

She gave her only begotten sunshine
She shared her brightest and most valuable qualities with others.
