You Don’t Know You Like I Do

You ran and tripped and fell down
And you can’t get up off the ground
You’re always so full of regret
So many things just make you so upset
All those thoughts don’t make you bad
Dry your tears, please don’t be sad
Lean on me when you’re tired from the fight
And always remember that it’s you that I like

The way you laugh, the way you smile
It’s all you, it’s your own style
Always be yourself, outside and in
It’s your journey, you choose the direction
Don’t be afraid, don’t be blue
You just don’t know you like I do

You’re more beautiful than gold
So don’t be afraid to be a little bold
Walk tall, carry yourself with pride
I’d hate for you to think you have to hide
It’s okay to make one or two mistakes
I’d rather you stumble than try to be fake
I’m always right here to help you fight
Because you’re the best, it’s you I like

Your nose, your face, or how you do your hair
The look in your eyes, so kind, so fair
It’s all you, and that’s my favorite part
Walk your path, don’t be scared to start
Those times when it’s hard to see the best in you?
Well, you just don’t know you like I do

I wish you could know you like I do
