It's a shame that you think you have to live this way It's a shame that you never have known You'd travel so far and you'd have so much power If only you would let the real you show It's a shame you think you have to live a lie It's a shame that you think you have to try To please everyone else when you don't even please yourself Now isn't that the worst kind of life? When you look into the mirror, do you see someone you hate? Why do you listen to what all those empty people say? You don't need them around, they just wanna keep you down But there's a better way It's a shame you think this is how it has to be It's a shame you make everything so hard I wish you could see that you're beautiful to me And I think you're perfect just the way you are
