When I was young, I wore your clothes
Red lipstick on, blush on my nose
I didn't think I broke the rules
I just knew I felt beautiful
I grew up hating how I looked
In my disguise from head to foot
I never felt like I was wrong
Where there was more to beautiful
I hurt my voice to make it deep
I changed my clothes and way I speak
I made my world so gray and dull
So it might not be beautiful
So I made friends who hurt me
So I wouldn't do it myself
And I cobbled together an image of man
Without anybody's help
And I danced with the person I wanted to be
'Til your god made me afraid
That I would die living my life
I see an angel in the mirror
They smile back, they see me here
They're not a boy and not a girl
And I think they are beautiful
Yes, I think they are beautiful
And I think they are beautiful
Blood and roses, late night nosebleeds
I can see this angel in me
Name and gender, smear my lipstick
I can change and still feel homesick
Picture-perfect body image
Pronouns, guns and chilling visage
Tattoos, piercings, revolution
I'm my New Year's resolution
I see an angel in the mirror
They smile back, they see me here
They're not a boy and not a girl
And I think they are beautiful
I think I am beautiful
