"Brilliant Still" lyrics - JAMES BAY

[Intro:]
For every time you hate yourself
For all the ways you gave yourself
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

In the night it calls again
You're a stranger in your skin
I wish you'd see yourself the way I do
You're my light, I wish you knew
So afraid you're not enough
Every day another cut
You wouldn't love yourself, you wouldn't dare
Why's it hurt so much to care?

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now it's Friday, you got your best on
But you're still looking for a reason to stay home
TV on
All your courage gone

[Chorus:]
For every time you hate yourself
For all the ways you gave yourself
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still
For all the teardrops in your hands
For every time you wanted to dance
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

Every insecurity
Let me chase them out your dreams
You keep me steady like some kind of pill
I'll do the same for you, I will

[Pre-Chorus:]
On a Friday, when all your fire's gone
And you're looking for a reason to give up
Hold on, 'cause you're not the only one

[Chorus:]
For every time you hate yourself
For all the ways you gave yourself
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still
For all the teardrops in your hands
For every time you wanted to dance
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

[Bridge:]
You are, you are
You are
Yeah, you are

[Chorus:]
For every time you hate yourself
For all the ways you gave yourself
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still
For all the teardrops in your hands
For every time you wanted to dance
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still

[Outro:]
For every time you hate yourself
For all the ways you gave yourself
When you can't look in the mirror, heart's ready to spill
I just wanna tell you that you're brilliant still
