Natalie Merchant - Tell Yourself [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse:]
I know what you tell yourself
You tell yourself
Look in the mirror
Look in the mirror what does it show?
I hear you counting
I know you're adding
Adding up the score
I know, oh yes i know
What you tell yourself
Tell yourself
Ever since eden
We're built for pleasing
Everyone knows
And ever since adam
Cracked his ribs and let us go
I know, oh yes i know
What you tell yourself
Tell yourself
Who taught you how to lie so well
And to believe in each and
Every word you say?
Who told you that nothing about you is alright
It's just no use, it's just no good you'll never be o.K.?
Well i know
I know that wrong's been done to you
"it's such a tough world," that's what you say
Well i know, i know it's easier said than done
But that's enough girl, give it away
Give it, give it all away
Tell yourself that you're not pretty
Look at you, you're beautiful
Tell yourself that no one sees
Plain jane invisible me, just tell yourself
Tell yourself you'll never be
Like the anorexic beauties in the magazines
Just a bargain basement barbie doll
No belle du jour, no femme fatale
Just tell yourself
Tell yourself there's nothing worse
Than the pain inside and the way it hurts
But tell yourself it's nothing new
Cause everybody feels it too
They feel it too
And there's just no getting 'round
The fact that you're thirteen right now
