What Would You Say To Yourself? Lyrics

If she was stood there

Blue eyes and blonde hair

With fear in her heart

Could you tell her she was stupid

Could you wipe away tears

She cries on her own

On her way home from school

Cause she don't know what might greet her

Cause that's who you hurt

When you call yourself dumb

You brush off your pain

And justify your torment

That little thing you were

With the green and grey bear

Was just begging for love

And it's gotta be you who gives it

And maybe if you fall apart

You can work to love who you are

Cause when you were small

You really weren't sure of yourself

And if you had some time with her

What would you say to make her feel safe

Cause she really needs somebody like yourself

Now she's standing there

She backcombs her hair

Her midriff is out

She's hoping someone wants her

She doesn't realise she's broken inside

And with men twice her age

At least she's feeling something

So can you learn to care

Cause none of it was fair

And you were too young

For all of it on your shoulders

Make it her you defend

When it's you you resent

Cause all that you are

Is really quite astounding

And maybe if you fall apart

You can work to love who you are

Cause when you were small

You really weren't sure of yourself

And if you had some time with her

What would you say to make her feel safe

Cause she really needs somebody like yourself

What would you say

What would you say to yourself

What would you say

What would you say to yourself

What would you say to yourself

What would you say

What would you say to yourself

What would you say yourself

What would you say

What would you say to yourself

What would you say to yourself

If she was stood there

Blue eyes and blonde hair

With fear in her heart

Would you tell her she was stupid

So maybe if you fall apart

You can work to love who you are

Cause when you were small

You really weren't sure of yourself

And if you had some time with her

What would you say to make her feel safe

Cause she really needs somebody like yourself
