Beautiful
Lyrics and Music by Kelly Cate

Always dreamed of being pretty,
And I always tried to be.
I never tried to listen
To the ugly things you said to me.
But sometimes it’s hard to know
What to believe,
Or to look in the mirror
And not hate what I see.

Chorus:
And they all say I’m beautiful,
But I don’t feel beautiful
This isn’t me at all,
And they don’t understand,

They watch me live my life,
And they say I’m made of light,
But they don’t see the shadows,
And they don’t see my ghosts.
Or sometimes, how my face goes dark
From those things
That echo in my heart.

Chorus

They say I’m beautiful,
I want to be beautiful,
Why can’t I be beautiful?
