Hey You Lyrics
You always see the beauty in a passing cloud
You're the one who fixes me when I'm down
And you don't think twice, do you?
You could find one diamond in a mine
But you're the one who's shining from miles around
And you don't see that, do you?
And when the day is done
Do you have the feeling that you're all alone
Giving up on your own dreams?
Hey you, it's your turn to see the beauty in yourself
Just like you tell everyone else
Hey you, am I getting through?
If you would only see yourself
The way you see everyone else
The way I always see you, I see you
Hey you, hey you
If you're flying like Icarus to the edge
I could be there talking you back, don't forget
But you don't go there, do you?
And when the night is long
Do you wake up hearing
A voice inside calling out for you
"Oh please"
Hey you, it's your turn to see the beauty in yourself
Just like you tell everyone else
Hey you, am I getting through?
If you would only see yourself
The way you see everyone else
The way I always see you, I see you
Hiding in the background, thinking you're not pretty
Holding back your thoughts, 'cause who's gonna listen?
Hide behind a half smile, hey it's such a pity
Everybody's missing out while you're busy
Holding it all inside, inside
Hey you, it's your turn to see the beauty in yourself
Just like you tell everyone else
Hey you, am I getting through?
If you would only see yourself
The way you see everyone else
The way I always see you, I see you
Hey you
What you're gonna do?
You're the one who fixes me when I'm down
And you don't think twice, do you?
You could find one diamond in a mine
But you're the one who's shining from miles around
And you don't see that, do you?
Do you have the feeling that you're all alone
Giving up on your own dreams?
Just like you tell everyone else
Hey you, am I getting through?
If you would only see yourself
The way you see everyone else
The way I always see you, I see you
Hey you, hey you
I could be there talking you back, don't forget
But you don't go there, do you?
Do you wake up hearing
A voice inside calling out for you
"Oh please"
Just like you tell everyone else
Hey you, am I getting through?
If you would only see yourself
The way you see everyone else
The way I always see you, I see you
Holding back your thoughts, 'cause who's gonna listen?
Hide behind a half smile, hey it's such a pity
Everybody's missing out while you're busy
Holding it all inside, inside
Just like you tell everyone else
Hey you, am I getting through?
If you would only see yourself
The way you see everyone else
The way I always see you, I see you
Hey you
What you're gonna do?

this song really reminds me of my best friend. Basically, there's this person who who has a very low self esteem, but he's a really beautiful person inside and out and Miranda wants them to see that. It's real incredible song. My favorite on her album.
I absolutley LOVE this song. Her voice sounds so beautiful, especially on the part where she says "your own dreams." The piano and music is amazing.
Bonus points for Greek Mythology reference, Miranda! GO DAEDALUS!!!! :)
p.s. Icarus, you know Daedalus was right, you idiot. You should've listened to him, even if you did trust him and his handiwork. If you trusted him, WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN???? :"(
Hey You- This song is about one of miranda's Best friend who is depressed she wants her to see the beauty in herself .
