Beautiful In Me

Endless hours spent watching the parade of imperfections
Covered up like endless hours spent
Trying to hide the mess and make corrections
On the outside, there's a price to pay

And beauty fades away
Nothing on the outside stays
I'll never be the picture of what I've been told
Is the only thing that'll get me loved

By the love that's bought and sold
In a world that needs to see you beautiful in me
I could try to measure up but only bring my measure down
Cause you're the only way that in this sinful heart

That any beauty can be found
Oh, won't you show me
All that I can be with you inside of me
Won't you shine and let them be free

I'll never be the picture of what I've been told
Is the only thing that'll get me loved
By the love that's bought and sold
In a world that needs to see you beautiful in me

I could take the lies to heart
And believe that the outside is where my beauty starts
But I believe that you have created me, set apart
And I will never be the picture of what I've been told

Is the only thing that'll get me loved
By the love that's bought and sold
In a world that needs to see you
Don't they know that they need you

Won't you shine in me so they can see you beautiful in me
Thanks for watching
