It's a shame that you think you have to live this way

It's a shame that you never have known

You'd travel so far and you'd have so much power

If only you would let the real you show


It's a shame you think you have to live a lie

It's a shame that you think you have to try

To please everyone else when you don't even please yourself

Now isn't that the worst kind of life?


When you look into the mirror, do you see someone you hate?

Why do you listen to what all those empty people say?

You don't need them around, they just wanna keep you down

But there's a better way


It's a shame you think this is how it has to be

It's a shame you make everything so hard

I wish you could see that you're beautiful to me

And I think you're perfect just the way you are
