Текст песни Criticize - Sofija Knezevic

Criticizing
Always doubting and judging
Yourself

Criticizing
Always playing devils
Advocate

Take a chance to be great
Don't walk away
Start being yourself
Its your chance to seize the day

Criticizing
You can do so much
Better than that

You remember when
You were ten and
You looked in the mirror
And then you wondered
Why your lips are small
And why your eyes are brown
And that was all
You never criticized yourself then.

You were just your curious self
Questioning
Why were things a certain way
And if they will change

Never did it crossed your mind
That one day you'll be here
Trying to change everything
About yourself.

Now take a look and
Be who you are
Even if you don't really
Fit in with the crowd.
Who cares what everybody thinks.

You're not the only one
That goes through this thing
Every year
Even the greatest of all time
Struggled being positive.

Once they told Jobim that
All his songs sound off key.
And that's when he wrote
That song called Desafinado
You know.
Meaning of that word is literally off key.

Now you see
What you can do about
All your fears
And your doubts
Prove them wrong.

Did you know that even great Van Gogh
Never sold more than one painting
In his lifetime.
Same goes for writer Kafka
And Edgar Allan Poe
And even Bach
So many people were misjudged
And they still kept
Creating art.

Be kind, its all up to you
When the rest of the world
We'll be doing it too.

So take a bow and love yourself
Every time when you look at
Your reflection
Protect your house of strength.
Be the witness to your greatness.

You are competent
And you are strong
All the love comes from your heart,
You deserve it too.

Derail all the bad thoughts
With good actions
At once
Look up, don't hide
Have no fear of
Meeting eyes
Live is beautiful
Just give it a chance.
Realize that truly you are one of a kind.

Criticizing
Stop it and find love
Within yourself.
