Recently, at a Sara Bareilles concert, I shed a tear.
Just thought it was entirely too appropriate not to post here.
(Little note - this song hasn't been released yet. There might be a few mistakes, but this is what I heard.)
Beautiful girl
[verse 1]
You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does
The one who’s always making everyone fall in love
You see
Girl, you are a lot like me
She rearranges all the light in the room so you’re always in the shadows
Well, that’s what it feels like to you
Baby, I’ve been there too
I know how much it can sometimes hurt
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl
Take it from me that you have to see it first
[chorus]
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heel shoes
To make him wanna be with you
Let me remind you one more time that
Just maybe you’re beautiful but you just can’t see
So why don’t you trust me
They’ll see it too, you beautiful girl, you…
[verse 2]
You wanna lay the blame on somebody else
All those tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf
But okay
I’ve seen it done that way
Just in case nobody ever comes through
Riding in to come to your rescue
You still have a chance
You don’t have to be asked to dance
I know how much you’ve been dying to say
Look how much everybody loves me
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away
[chorus]
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heel shoes
To make him wanna be with you
Let me remind you one more time that
Just maybe you’re beautiful but you just can’t see
So why don’t you trust me
They’ll see it too, you beautiful girl, you…
