Take a Look at Me

Working to the bone only to have his whole life Pulled out from under him He couldn’t last long But didn’t tell anyone about it Shadows from the past came to visit But it only really ended up haunting him He was alone now And wouldn’t do anything about it Sunlight burns And time doesn’t care About your title problems About your little feelings Waking up to find your world has changed Only lasts a moment And then it’s where to go from here So take a minute Take an hour Take a whole year You’re not a loser if you fall apart And all your confidence Taken by the ones who want to see you fail Belongs to you now Don’t you think it’s time you said something positive about yourself like ooh Take a look at me Take a look and tell me what do you see I need a different kind of energy To bring out the best in me And as the water rises I guess I’d better learn to swim Cause I’ve been drowning But I’m not ready to give in Such a clever girl, had it all figured out So she didn’t know what hit her When the sickness came And there was no-one to blame Frozen by the fear of a relapse Couldn’t find the answers to her calls And all the while she’s screaming out Why does this happen again and again and again and again So take a minute Take an hour Take a whole year You’re not a loser if you fall apart And all your confidence Taken by the ones who want to see you fail Belongs to you now Don’t you think it’s time you said something positive about yourself like ooh Take a look at me Take a look and tell me what do you see I need a different kind of energy To bring out the best in me And as the water rises I guess I’d better learn to swim Cause I’ve been drowning But I’m not ready to give in
