Can I say something? I’m a little drunk
I’ve been missing you. Did you miss me, too?
There’s so many things I would say to you
The wedding and the baby, yeah, it’s all been good, but not the same without you
Don’t be so hard on yourself, admit it to yourself
You’ve been at war with yourself since God knows when, it’s a war you can’t win
Take a look at yourself, check out the shape you’re in
You look like something that the cat dragged in
And now you’re thinkin’ that the haters will win
It’s a simple little thing that we often forget
It’s a simple little thing, but you’ll never get it
If you lose yourself, if you lose yourself
Be proud of yourself, be good to yourself
You can do anything if you’re true to yourself
You may surprise yourself, you may surprise yourself
It’s the quiet times in the midst of life
That give the other moments the extra-special meaning that we need in this life
The hidden silences of what we cannot say
Secrets don’t come out in words, no, they come out in another way
It’s a lifetime’s work to learn the truth of yourself
It’s not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsiders that determine your worth
We never have the time for all the things that we want
So you need to make good choices and listen to the voices that can help you do right
It’s a simple little thing that we often forget
It’s a simple little thing, but you’ll never get it
If you lose yourself, if you lose yourself
Be proud of yourself, be good to yourself
You can do anything if you’re true to yourself
You may surprise yourself, you may surprise yourself
Who could refrain from loving you?
Anyone who has a heart and who’s halfway smart can see the beauty in you
The shouldnt’s and the should’s, they won’t make you feel good
When you find out who is who it’s an easy thing to do, to be good to you
In love there’s no ‘buts,’ no ‘if’s’ or ‘when’s’
It’s always all or nothing and you need the same thing to be your best friend
I hope you’re proud of the times when you said yes
When all it meant was work and the only one you helped was somebody else
It’s a simple little thing that we often forget
It’s a simple little thing, but you’ll never get it
If you lose yourself, if you lose yourself
Be proud of yourself, be good to yourself
You can do anything if you’re true to yourself
You may surprise yourself, you may surprise yourself
A friend is the one who lets you be yourself
But you’ll always need to be the one you’re meant to be to be at peace with yourself
At the center of the world is a beating heart
That never stops its beating to help those who are seeking, wherever they are
You gather me in, the pieces that I am
I’ll be a friend of yours, you’ll be a friend of mine till the saints come in
We said it before, there was a time to turn back
And though that time has passed, the vow we took will last, we’ll never take it back
It’s a simple little thing that we often forget
It’s a simple little thing, but you’ll never get it
If you lose yourself, if you lose yourself
Be proud of yourself, be good to yourself
You can do anything if you’re true to yourself
You may surprise yourself, you may surprise yourself
It’s a simple little thing that we often forget
It’s a simple little thing, but you’ll never get it
If you lose yourself, if you lose yourself
Be proud of yourself, be good to yourself
You can do anything if you’re true to yourself
You may surprise yourself, you may surprise yourself
