through you

So, I saw myself through your eyes and I STILL thought I looked ugly

And so I asked, what makes you think I'm so pretty?

And you said, "Because you see me with your own eyes."

So, I thought of myself through your mind and I STILL thought I was boring

And so I asked, what makes you think I'm interesting at all?

And you said, "Because you think of me with your own thoughts."

So, I kissed myself with your lips, and I STILL was disgusted by the taste

And so I asked, what makes you think my mouth is so soft and sweet?

And you said, "Because you kiss me, with the kisses of your own mouth."

So, I strangled myself with your hands, and I STILL was repulsed by the touch

And so I asked, what makes you think I'm worth anything?

And you said, "Because you hold me with your own hands."

So, I tried to love myself through your own heart, and I STILL hated myself

And so I asked, what makes you think I deserve any love?

And you said, "Because it's you."
