I have posted this before but since I have been dealing with what this song is all about lately, I felt the need to repost it. I need to find a way to show who I am inside. I hope I can soon….
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly, it’s hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I’m so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down, ohh, no
So don’t you bring me down today
To all your friends, you’re delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone, left the puzzle undone
Ain’t that the way it is
‘Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down, ohh, no
‘Cause you are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down, ohh, no
So don’t you bring me down today
No matter what we’ll do
No matter what we’ll say
We’re the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And every where we go
The sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might awake
On the other side
‘Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won’t bring us down, no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring us down, ohh, no
So don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you’ll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
My heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that i’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There’s a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?
I won’t pretend that i’m
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?
