Lyrics
You Don't Know How Beautiful You Are
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We learn to wear these masks so young
Like a prison that keeps joy from getting through
And an angry silence grips our tongues
These weapons and our walls become our tombs
We’re the kids who’ve seen the darkness
Always looking for the light
You fall in love and then the rain comes down
And only part of you survives
Come surrender
Your hidden scars
Leave your weapons
Where they are
You’ve been hiding
But I know your wounded heart
You don’t know how beautiful you are
I’m tired of hiding who I really am
Underneath these alibis
And I want to know who you really are
I want to meet you here tonight
We were not born with these defenses
We’re not destined for this pain
We hide ourselves and put the fig leaves on
But a mask can never cover up this shame
Where we’re headed
Is a world apart
From where we started
We’ve come so far
I’ll take my chances
Honey, you can have my heart
You don’t know how beautiful you are
Love surrender!
(Let your walls come down)
Future gardens
From all this rain
Future flowers
From present pain
We’re bound together
And our lives are bound to change
You don’t know how beautiful you are
And all the ashes
From all these dreams
I’ve seen the beauty
Of fallen leaves
Someday maybe we’ll find out what it means
You’ll find out how beautiful you are
