You Are Who You've Been Looking For

You are who you've been looking for
 So stop looking for more
 Unless you are looking in the mirror
 Because it's about time for you to see clearly
 That you are who you've been looking for
 And that empty feeling you got
 That hole in your chest
 You only got that feeling
 Because you think you are not blessed
 With everything you need
 You see, we live in a consumerist society
 Which means they need you to buy stuff
 The easiest way to sell it is to tell you
 You're not enough
 Buy this car, you'll get girls
 Buy this bra, you'll get guys
 And we are seeing is so much
 That we start believing these lies
 But the truth is
 Yeah, the truth is
 The makeup they're selling to make you feel prettier
 Is the same makeup you buy to stop feeling shittier
 About this lie they keep telling you
 That you are not enough
 And what about the movies we watch or the shows on TV?
 The more I watch, the more I see
 I need you to complete me
 And yes, love is the answer, love is the key
 But if you can't love yourself
 How can you ever love me?
 And loving yourself, what does that even mean?
 Like massages and selfies and that sort of thing?
 Because the more I think about it, the more it feels weird
 I've always thought that self-love was something to be feared
 I've been taught that arrogance is bad
 And vanity, it's not good
 And even my bracelets are telling me to act how Jesus would
 So what should I do? How should I act?
 I'm supposed to love myself
 But how do I even do that?
 Well, I got a trick that I picked up from a friend
 Who noticed that I was quick to defend her
 When she'd say something negative about herself
 She'd say, I'm so dumb
 And I'd say, you're so brilliant
 She'd say, I'm so weak
 And I'd say, you're so resilient
 And when she said, I feel ugly
 And I said, you look beautiful
 She asked me, why I was so dutifully
 Filling up her cup constantly?
 And yet treating my own cup so irresponsibly
 Because when I looked in the mirror, my voice was quite clear
 "You're ugly, you're too thin, your hairline's receding
 And you got a pimple on your chin"
 And that was when
 She gave me a piece of advice that changed my life
 (You are who you've been looking for)
 She gave me a hug and she said
 Treat yourself like someone you love
 Treat yourself like someone you love
 (You are who you've been looking for)
 And I had been standing but I needed to be sitting
 Because I couldn't believe that I had been letting
 Myself keep forgetting
 That I was who I'd been looking for
 And deep in my core I knew it was time to stop looking for more
 Until I could look through all my fear
 And look into a mirror and see clearly
 That the man looking back at me
 Is the only one who can make me happy
 And I am already enough
 And I'm not any more special or unique than you
 That is why I'm here to speak to you
 You are already enough
 And when you start to see that, you will start to be that
 Your world will get brighter, your load will get lighter
 And you can see that with life
 You can be a lover, not a fighter
 And that life
 You deserve it
 Because you are worth it
 And there's no point in letting
 Yourself keep forgetting because no matter
 What you say or do
 You are perfect!
 So today, I hope I leave you with a direction correction
 Away from the flaws you see in your reflection
 They aren't flaws to me, they are simply protection
 Against all the doubts you have of your perfection
 (You are who you've been looking for)
 So start today (you are)
 Take a good long look in the mirror and say (you are)
 I am who I've been looking for (you are)
 (You are who you've been looking for)
