Sad But True

If I could have the words to change
To speak into the world, would they fly
I wonder if they'd put them in a jeweled box for sale

But I need to strengthen the things that remain
It's sad but true
Beauty never sells, and we remain the same
It's true
It's sad but true

I won't give in to what they want
Or has the window closed any way
Between the world they want to hear
And what they love me to say

But I need to strengthen the things that remain
It's sad but true
Beauty never sells, and money makes the rules
It's true
It's sad but true

One of these days
Something will break through
I want to
But I wait a whole world
But I wait a whole world

It's sad but true
It's sad but true

I need to strengthen the things that remain
It's sad but true
Beauty never sells, and money makes the rules
It's true
It's sad but true

I need to strengthen the things that remain
It's sad but true
Beauty never sells, and we remain the same
It's true
It's sad but true
