Scars To Your Beautiful Lyrics
Alessia Cara
Lyrics
She just wants to be, beautiful
She goes, unnoticed she knows, no limits
She craves, attention she praises, an image
She prays to be, sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see, the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain, and cut her woes away
Cause covergirls don't cry, after their face is made
But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful,
we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful,
we're stars and we're beautiful
She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, "covergirls eat nothing"
She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I could go a little while longer", she fades away
She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface
Ah oh, ah ah oh,
So to all the girls that's hurting
Let me be your mirror, help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful,
we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh,
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful,
we're stars and we're beautiful
No better you than the you that you are
(No better you than the you that you are)
No better life than the life we're living
(No better life than the life we're living)
No better time for your shine, you're a star
(No better time for your shine, you're a star)
Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautifu-u-u-ul
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful,
we're stars and we're beautiful
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh,
woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful
we're stars and we're beautiful
