Skin And Bones
Polaris At Noon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But what you did instead, was imitate the rest
When you look into the mirror everyday, what do you see?
And when you thought that you were turning gray I knew you were mistaken
You will see that you're reaching for lies
It's not worth changing for
You are loved
You wonder why you're lost
You've torn your skin from bone
The person you've become is not like you at all
When you stare into the mirror every night, what do you see?
A carbon copy, not a candle burning bright
So set the flame
You will see that you're reaching for lies
It's not worth changing for
You are loved
You are so beautiful exactly as you are
You're blinded by light
You've got to keep hope
Whatever you become, I know I can say
That you aren't a bitter soul
That you can just let love in
That you're in a troubled state but the light's at the end
That you have a heart within
And true beauty radiates from your soul
I just wanted you to know
You will see that you're reaching for lies
It's not worth changing for
You are loved
You are so beautiful exactly as you are
You will see that you're reaching for lies
It's not worth changing for
'Cause you are loved
You are so beautiful exactly as you are
