鏡の自分に言い聞かせる
Baby you'll be alright 彼がいなくたって
一人には慣れたはずなのに
弱気な lonely night もっと強くならなきゃ oh no

やっと歩き出したから 前だけを見て

そう明日には ありのままの自分をもっと信じたい
'Cause I love you just the way you are
負けそうでも泣いても 輝くために
So I love you just the way you are
Ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah
Just the way you are

嫌いだった鏡に写る顔
自信がなくて ふさぎ込んでたの
彼のために空けてた週末
友達と let's party 気づけば笑ってた

今しかない時間だから 涙を拭いて

そう今日からは ありのままの自分をもっと愛したい
'Cause I love you just the way you are
負けそうでも泣いても 輝くために
So I love you just the way you are
Ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah
Just the way you are

少しでも気を抜いたら (涙が)
こぼれそうだから (上向いて)
立ち止まらないで まだまだきっと 必ず幸せはあるよね
信じて yeah

ありのままにもっと輝いていたい
'Cause I love you just the way you are
誰のためでもない そうわたしのために
So I love you just the way you are
Ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah
Just the way you are




Ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah ah ah ah ah-ah-ah
Just the way you are
