INTRO
Story of a girl who lost her world, so she could be beautiful
Verse 1
Fifteen, so sweet, you'd think, But she's got a secret.
Made up her mind, The day she came to find out that he left
I guess there's another girl
This time blue eyes, blonde hair
She'll do anything to catch his eye
But she knows she'll never compare
Verse 2
Skips school, won't eat, can barely sleep
Takes drastic measures.
Runs seven miles a day in the sun
Wearing a sweater
She turns the radio on so no one hears what she's doing.
'Coz she's convinced herself he'll come back to her, when she's perfect.
Chorus
She's just a girl, who doesn't know she's already beautiful.
One year ago, if you had seen her you would never know
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates
herself,
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticize, she'd
rather be beautiful than alive.
Verse 3
Nineteen, one shrink, two times a week, but nothings changing.
Mom cries at night for her life, 'coz she knows she's fading.
She's tried to turn around, but she's too far in the wrong direction
Wasn't s'pose to be this way, all she wanted was some affection.
Chorus
She's just a girl, who doesn't know she's already beautiful.
One year ago, if you had seen her you would never know
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates
herself,
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticize, she'd
rather be beautiful than alive.
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Verse 4
Twenty three, Now she's buried underneath red roses.
I'm gonna miss her and I hope someone learns from this
Maybe she's happy now, Maybe she's finally free
Of not feeling good enough, And maybe she's rid of her disease.
Chorus
She's just a girl, who doesn't know she's already beautiful.
One year ago, if you had seen her you would never know
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates
herself,
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticize, she'd
rather be beautiful than alive.
