YOU DON'T KNOW (That You're Beautiful)

i see you
when i see you
with my heart and with my eyes
it's comes as a surprise
to you the way that i see you
you don't understand what i see
you think you're something less
when i think you are the best
'cause you don't know

you don't know that you're beautiful
you see yourself so small
you don't feel the way i see you at all
you don't know that you're beautiful
but i see it all
i see you beautiful
but you don't know

i see you
when i see you
as a subject inside-out
i see the heart within
it's you the way that i see you
you have never known what i know
you think i tell you lies
no matter how i try
'cause you don't know

you don't know that you're beautiful
you see yourself so small
you don't feel the way i see you at all
you don't know that you're beautiful
but i see it all
i see you beautiful
but you don't know

This is a wonderful poem Daniel - it's so true of many people too. They end up sabotaging their relationships because they see themselves "so small", as you've said so beautifully here!! :)

Sorry Daniel, should have said "wonderful lyrics". :)
