Beautiful Things
You're standing at your bathroom mirror
Cryin' "What did I do?" tears
Your friends are out and you're right here
There's a party, you didn't know
You just found out from your phone
Did they not want you to go?
Oh yeah, you feel that twisting knife
Oh, I know it ain't right
Fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But, honey, just take it from me
The world is hard on beautiful things
You're pretty and you're smart
God made a work of art
Girl, don't pick yourself apart
And quit wonderin' why he did it
Nothing 'bout you needs fixin'
It ain't what you are, it's what he isn't
Oh, I know it don't feel fair
But, oh, I can't count the times I've been there
Fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
And words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But honey, just take it from me
The world is hard on beautiful things
You shine, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You shine, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
'Cause fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Come on pretty mockingbird, I wanna hear you sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But, honey, just take it from me
Just hold on, just breathe
The world is hard on beautiful things
You shine, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
