I used to look into the mirror I'd hate what's on the other side
Who is that girl, wouldn't wanna be her She's got no sparkle in her eye
And I had a habit of skipping breakfast Couldn't get that number off my mind
Thought when I was skinny I'd feel better But in a field of flowers I'm just a dandelion
Then you took my hand and told me to listen closely Looked into my eyes and said you could see my soul
Then you said that I'm a diamond there In a pile of rocks on the ground You told me I'm unbreakable And nobody can knock me down
You call me pretty when I don't feel pretty You say that you love me just the way I am I'll never get it, I wish I could see it
Through your eyes and understand When you say that I'm a diamond When you say that I'm a diamond
And I've got a fear of rejection So I always push my love aside But you break my walls and call me perfection You love every piece I try to hide
Then you took my hand and told me to listen closely Looked into my eyes and said you could see my soul Then you said that I'm a diamond there In a pile of rocks on the ground You told me I'm unbreakable And nobody can knock me down
You call me pretty when I don't feel pretty You say that you love me just the way I am I'll never get it, I wish I could see it Through your eyes and understand
When you took my hand, looked in my eyes Saw the light for the first time, buried deep You pulled me out from all the years of wasted doubt
You said that I'm a diamond there In a pile of rocks on the ground You told me I'm unbreakable And nobody can knock me down
You call me pretty when I don't feel pretty You say that you love me just the way I am I'll never get it, I wish I could see it Through your eyes and understand When you say that I'm a diamond When you say that I'm a diamond
When you say that I'm a diamond
