Beauty In Me

Cross-legged on the front lawn she's had a bad pill

The lights of the city they can all go to hell

It'll all come good if she can put in the hours

She wants to get into film but it's gonna take years

She wishes she wrote songs like the ones that you hear

The boy's are all 20 and they leave her on the edge

And she's telling herself "They'll see,

They'll see the beauty in me

They'll see the beauty it's in my soul"

Her lift is waiting she'll be there soon

Rocking forwards and backwards eyeballing the moon

Unwired like a child of the rich

She's pretty and long and part of the scene

Playing with her phone like it's a rosary

Should get up and take them all on now

First she can tell them why she's so sad

Why this girl is crying

Of all the excuses she's ever had

Well she's nearly 20 and so very old
