I don't claim to be the most beautiful for simply vanities sake From my first breath of life I learned That in this world my beauty is my worth If I am not desirable, then I am nothing I am beautiful because I have to be Since that first breath of life I was told that I was beauty, through and through If I am not beautiful, then what am I? What purpose would I serve? If I am not the most beautiful, then have I lost my worth? The diamonds on my skin The blinding, dazzling layer of my shallow beauty Hide the precious gemstones that cover my heart and run through my veins For I am beauty, through and through

I don't claim to be the most beautiful for simply vanities sake From my first breath of life I learned That in this world my beauty is my worth If I am not desirable, then I am nothing I am beautiful because I have to be Since that first breath of life I was told that I was beauty, through and through If I am not beautiful, then what am I? What purpose would I serve? If I am not the most beautiful, then have I lost my worth? The diamonds on my skin The blinding, dazzling layer of my shallow beauty Hide the precious gemstones that cover my heart and run through my veins For I am beauty, through and through
