Beautiful Nothing

I used to like you as you were
Hanging on your every word
Now vanity's walked all over you.

They cut a smile across your face
Removed each line without a trace
And now the world laughs back at you.

Cause, you're a beautiful nothing - when I look in your eyes
A beautiful nothing - take a look at your life.

Scars are etched all over you
You're nothing like the girl I knew from the old school photograph.

Society and the media have left their mark all over you
As the world looks back and laughs.

Cause, you're a beautiful nothing - when I look in your eyes
A beautiful nothing - take a look at your life now.

One day you’ll wake up from underneath your make up
And take a look around - Take a look around
Your face is so thin - Underneath that torn skin
Understand me now - Do you understand me now?
You're a beautiful nothing - a beautiful nothing

One day you'll wake up from underneath your make up
And take a look around - Take a look around
Your face is so thin - Underneath that torn skin
Understand me now - Do you understand me now?
You're a beautiful nothing - a beautiful nothing

Go Back
