Beauty She'Ll Never Know
She walks through the lonely streets
Waiting for her love to meet
She sits outside in the pouring rain
And cries to get rid of the pain
She quiets down in the crowd
Being misread, seeming proud
And in her sweet shy smile you'll see
A girl lacking confidence is she
With her friends, she fakes so well
She's too afraid to break out of her shell
Too afraid to see her beauty, her worth
How precious she's been since the time of her birth
All too often, she's been put down
Her self-esteem and joy were left to drown
She's the type of girl whose beauty stays
Morning and night, all throughout the day
But she doesn't know it, she never will
Her empty feeling, she'll never fill
And even when she fills up with tears
From all the hurt built up through the years
Stunning and radiant, her eyes will glow
But still, her beauty, she'll never know
You can tell her, but she'll just wonder why,
or how you can possibly tell her this awful lie
She's set herself up for failure and pain,
All efforts toward happiness will just be in vain
She's the sweet and funny girl, who's smart
The beautiful girl, with her beautiful heart
But she'll never know it, she wont accept;
Only the years of hurtful words she's kept
It's sad to see her scarred from her life of woe
And how she has this beauty that she'll never know
