Ugly

(album: Tender Offerings - 2018)

I thought that being skinny was the answer to all my problems
I thought if you found me pretty then I'll be fine
I thought if you love me I'll be a person
It's only if you wanted me but I have peace of mind

I thought that being smart meant impressing others
I thought growing up meant crossing the lines
Thought I had to be someone in order for you to like me
Couldn't see I already was long before you crossed my mind

So if I'm ugly, well I'm
So much more than that I'm
So much more than you'll ever know
Oh if I'm ugly, I am
Still so much more than that I'm
So much more than you'll ever know

I thought I had to be everything that you could ever need
I thought I had to be strong so that you'll never hurt
Thought the biggest thing in life was to live for someone else
But I kept on failing and it left me in the back

So if I'm ugly, well I'm
So much more than that I'm
So much more than you'll ever know
Oh if I'm ugly, I am
Still so much more than that I'm
So much more than you'll ever know

But I look at my own mother
Who told me to be strong
When the world hurts me it'll be better
She assured me they were wrong

So if I'm ugly, well I'm
So much more than that I'm
So much more than you'll ever know
So what if I'm ugly, I am
Still so much more than that I'm
So much than you'll ever know
