The clock is ticking,
As I’m counting out my flaws,
Am I so scarred I’ll never be loved,
Or just a painting that’s been torn?
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m too young to know what’s ahead of me,
Too old to believe in destiny,
Hold tight onto what’s left of me,
Pretend I’m not alone
[Chorus]
Cos we all want someone who believes we’re beautiful,
And we all need love so that we can feel visible,
Just be kind and I won’t mind,
Because a caring heart is what makes you beautiful
[Verse]
They just say,
“Hey don’t worry, you’re still young”,
But now it’s been two years,
And my tears still haven’t gone
[Pre-Chorus]
And I’m too tired to fight just to lose again,
Too cold to lie alone and then,
Close my eyes and try to dream,
Pretend I’m not alone
[Chorus]
Cos we all want someone who believes we’re beautiful,
And we all need love so that we can feel visible,
Just be kind and I won’t mind,
Because a caring heart is what makes you beautiful
[Bridge]
If you really exist why can’t you be here with me?
And if love isn’t real why are you so lovely?
From all the pain and the hurt, this is what I deserve,
I’m alone and afraid and they think that I’m ugly
[Chorus]
Cos we all want someone who believes we’re beautiful,
And we all need love so that we can feel visible,
Just be kind and I won’t mind,
Because a caring heart is what makes you beautiful
