Tell me i'm beautiful
Not just a waste of space
I deserve to breath
Tell me I have a place
In this suffocating world
Where we love to glorify
The stick-thin figure
And pretty face
Things that aren't worthwhile
So tell me i'm special
That I have a pretty smile
Coz for a moment I'd be glad
Even if I know it's just a lie
