lyrics

Sometimes I pretend that I am beautiful

Even though, even though,

even though I know the truth

Most of the time I feel invisible

Cause I know, yes I know

I’m no longer in my youth

Who is to say what is beautiful

Beauty looks different through every single eye

It is what it is

And I am what I am

I can't run away from that, no matter how I try

Sometimes I pretend that I am beautiful

Even though, even though,

even though I know the truth

Most of the time I feel invisible

Cause I know, yes I know

I’m no longer in my youth

Who is to say that you’re not beautiful

How can they dene you from the outside

If the light shines from within

From underneath the skin

That’s the beauty that cannot be denied

Sometimes I pretend that I am beautiful

Even though, even though,

even though I know the truth

Most of the time I feel invisible

Cause I know, yes I know

I’m no longer in my youth

It’s hard for me to say that I am beautiful

I know I fall under a most critical eye

It’s not what you see

That shows the best of me

If you dig a little deeper, you’ll nd

what’s inside
