I'm Not The Girl In The Mirror
I wish the judging would stop
I'm more than what you see
I may not be model skinny
I may not be that classic version of pretty
But i wish you could see
That I am beautiful inside...
That worthless doesn't apply
That my heart will fill with love and your sacrifice
That my laugh brightens your day
That you will never go away
So somebody will see that I am beautiful inside...
But alas you don't believe in what you can't see
Judging me by numbers on a silver scale
Or the "putrid" color of my hair
But look into my eyes
Look deep at what's inside
I promise...
It's worth it...
But maybe,
Just maybe I don't deserve it
Maybe I am all you say
Maybe I should go away
Wouldn't that be the day?
Where I finally go away?
But i will not go
I will stay
I will prove i am more
Than that girl in the mirror
That i am beautiful
In my skin
And now you see
That I am beautiful inside
That worthless does not apply
That my heart is filled with your love and your sacrifice
That my laugh will always brighten your day
And that forever you will stay
Because now we all can see
That i am beautiful inside...
