People don't see you
People see your face
People see your body
I see your heart
I see your mind
I see you
I wish you could see yourself through my eyes
I wish I could make you see what I do
Because what's inside
Your heart
Your mind
Your soul
That all shine through to me
They are what make you radiant
Not your outward appearance
Your inner beauty is all I see
I love you for who you are
Not what everyone else sees
But what I see
So yes
You are beautiful
But, no
I don't love you because you are beautiful
You are beautiful because I love you

That all shine through to me
They are what make you radiant

Not what everyone else sees
But what I see
So yes
You are beautiful
But, no
I don't love you because you are beautiful
You are beautiful because I love you
I wrote this for a friend who thinks people only see him as a pretty boy, not the beautiful person he is.
