Beautiful For a Day

I'm beautiful
I wasn't an hour ago
I shine
I didn't yesterday
Something about me is different
Something about me
Has changed
Yestrday I was nothing
Tomorrow I'll be nothing
But today I an perfect
It's like a Cinderella story
My ball gown turns to rags
My carraige will turn to a pumpkin
When the clock strikes midnight
But that doesn't matter now
Tomorrow i might be a nobody again
But today, right now
I'm beautiful from the inside out
