Glorious
Ella Henderson Lyrics

I'll keep it simple and try to explain
Explaining things isn't always easy, especially when emotions are involved.

But it's harder to say than you think when it comes from a dark place
Expressing yourself when you're feeling low or down is always more challenging than you imagine.

Like, we all wanna win
We all have goals and aspirations we'd like to achieve.

But, life ain't a game
Life isn't a competition or something to win, it's an experience.

So why we keep pushing and driving ourselves 'til we're insane?
Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to the extent of losing our minds?

We gotta live with the choices we make
We're responsible for ourselves and the choices we make in life.

But if we get it wrong, we can't blame no one
We have to take full responsibility for our mistakes, we can't push the blame onto others.

When it's your sanity that's at stake
When you're under pressure, it can affect your mental health.

Please don't lose your light, you'll lose your mind
Don't lose what makes you unique, or you'll end up becoming someone you're not.

We got flaws in all of us
We're all human and have attributes that could be seen as shortcomings by some.

But that's what makes us glorious
Despite our shortcomings, we're still magnificent and wonderful human beings.

Time goes by in front of us
Time doesn't wait for anyone, it keeps moving forward.

So let's just make it glorious
Let's live our lives to the fullest, embracing our flaws and all.

I could be kinder to myself on days
We should be kind to ourselves, especially on days when we don't feel our best.

Whenever I look in the mirror and talk to my body and say, "It could be tighter"
Sometimes, we're too critical of ourselves, and we focus on things we're not happy about.

And ain't it a shame
It's unfortunate that we struggle to appreciate our beauty in different ways.

That we struggle to see how beautiful comes in a million ways
Beauty comes in many forms, but we often fail to appreciate it in different shapes and sizes.

Can we quit paying attention to opinions and perfection?
We should stop caring about what other people think and trying to be perfect.

Before we run out of youth
Before we get old and regret not living our lives to the fullest.

Oh, 'cause we got flaws in all of us
We all have imperfections, and that's what makes us unique.

Glorious, glorious
We're all magnificent and beautiful in our way, despite our flaws.
