You said there was no beauty within you
You were a candle devoid of a spark
So you set all your feelings on fire
In the hopes it would like up your dark
You said there was no beauty within you
You were ocean whose depths had run dry
So you filled all the cracks in your laughter
With the flood of the tears you would cry
And I wish that the beauty within you
Hadn't caused you to view life with doubt
Because you said there was no beauty within you
But there's surely no beauty without
