You're beautiful
The way the tears run down your face
Too soon to know
It's all within your hands to change
Beautiful
Your colors fade and turn to gray
In front of you
The answer's there for you to take
Can't see clearly from below
Caught up in the undertow
You're not alone
You're not alone
When it feels like you're to blame
You hate the sound of your own name
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're overwhelmed
Every road has done you wrong
Just hold on
You've always been where you belong
Can't see clearly from below
Caught up in the undertow
You're not alone
You're not alone
When it feels like you're to blame
You hate the sound of your own name
You're not alone
You're not alone
When no one hears you
And the world's against you
You're not alone
Not alone
You're beautiful
It's all within your hands to change
Can't see clearly from below
Caught up in the undertow
You're not alone
You're not alone
When it feels like you're to blame
You hate the sound of your own name
You're not alone
