lyrics

When you were younger
who said you weren't beautiful?
you cut your hair to fit in with the boys

They pushed and shoved you
and made me feel insecure -
a waste of space that makes too much noise

The world's filled with vampires
who'll suck you dry and leave the dust
take all your innocence
fill you with lust

Now your cutting scars in both of your wrists
and making holes in my heart
as I long to say what sets you apart

Your dad he spits his hateful words
your mom gives no love at all
if only they could see what I saw

My heart is a poet
my love for you I'll write it down
maybe someday I'll say it out loud

What a weary existence
to keep all these feelings inside
just let me in your heart
like I let you in mine

But the path to freedom
is as crooked as my teeth
and as dark as your eyes
when we're through the world won't see through our disguise

We both know my past is far behind
and your future so bright
what I wouldn't give for you to let me inside

And we'd live happily ever after
you and I could start a home
if only I could get there faster
or if you want
we could take it slow

My heart is a record
spins round and round most every night
melt down the vinyl and form what you like

Ripped up my poems and my book
I've nothing left to hide
just say what's in my heart
and just speak my mind

Well I know that people change
you loved who I was, not who I am
but my love hasn't faltered
my love it still stands

But if you love me through all of my sins
through all of my scars
just know that I'll love you inside and out
and my love for you it shines just like the sun -
it rises and sets
so I understand if you have your doubts

Just know that I love you
know that it's true
know that someone somewhere
understands you

And wherever you are
or if you've found someone new
I hope he knows you're beautiful
the way that I do.
