Alicia Keys - Better You, Better Me

I look into the mirror and see a different girl
Hiding from herself with, not a care in the world
Her smile pretends to fool, those she chooses to please
If they could only see the tears, she cries for help
See, I have been that girl, didn’t know which way to turn
Then one day, I turned to me

I told myself to wake up, it’s gonna be a brighter day
I just have to believe that, my dreams won’t have to wait
At times I’ve lost my mind, had to look deep inside
And find a way to get over, had to swallow my pride
I searched the world for the answers, but I've been searching too far
Because I’ve been here all along

I’m here to make a statement, my place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is, I know
I’m gonna make it, I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused and find a better me Feels like forever, trying to work it out
Sometimes you’re gonna fail and you know, sometime it will rain
But the sun will come, when you think it’s all said and done
You know you see the light and everything is alright
You can do whatever you put your mind to
'Cause you’re all that you need, like I do just believe

You’re here to make a statement, you’re place you’re here to claim it
You know just what your name is, no go
You’re gonna make it, you’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused and find a better you

I gotta love me
I gotta know me
I gotta find me
I know
Ooohhh

I’m here to make a statement, my place I’m here to claim it
Don’t tell me what my name is, I know
I’m gonna make it, I’ve come to far to lose it
Gotta stay focused and find a better me
