Concrete Rose

I thought I’d disguise myself By taking all my makeup off And wearing things I’d normally toss And stop my mouth from taking off But in the mirror I see someone Clearer than I’ve ever seen She’s the one from in my dreams How beautiful I didn’t know she’d be How lovely she seems to be She’s sprouting from the pavement clean She's rarer than a diamond see They call her a concrete rose And I know How it’s just so hard it is to make it on your own Trust me I know And the hardest thing is Trying not to Hate yourself For never being perfect Don’t ever think you aren’t One of a kind (one of a kind) All the things you went through Make you better with time (better with time) Don’t you fret about the ones That made you lose you mind You'll never realise just exactly how you shine Yeah, oh, oh oh, oh Well, Running from my problems, they Never solved enough for me I Didn’t know just how it’d be That I’d have to work it out from beneath But all this time I thought that I could Live my life so peacefully Find someone to set me free But that was so naive of me But now I know just how it is to Love myself completely Stop shaming, complaining and blaming me I’m only human don’t ya see Don’t you ever think that you aren’t One of a kind (one of a kind) ‘Cause all the things you went through Make you better with time (better with time) Don’t you fret about the ones that made you lose your mind You’ll never realise Just exactly how you shine And I know, just how hard it is to make it on your own Trust me, I know 'Cause the hardest thing it trying not to Hate yourself for never being perfect But if you could look into that mirror And just see that you are worth it
