This World

tell me what it means to be beautiful
tell me what it means to be confident
this world tears my heart apart
i wanna get away
get away from it all
show me how
how to love 
i dry my eyes 
but the tears will always return
no matter what 
help me
help me through it all 
help me to see that pretty girl people say i am
i may not be all youve ever wanted
but i would love to be 
so tell me what it is you want
tell me what it is this world wants from me
tell me..you love me .
