Don't look at me Everyday is so wonderful Then suddenly It's hard to breathe Now and then I get insecure From all the pain I'm so ashamed I am beautiful No matter what they say Words can't bring me down I am beautiful In every single way Yes words can't bring me down Oh no So don't you bring me down today To all your friends you're delirious So consumed In all your doom, ooh Trying hard to fill the emptiness The pieces gone Left the puzzle undone Ain't that the way it is You're beautiful No matter what they say Words can't bring you down Oh no You're beautiful In every single way Yes words can't bring you down Oh no So don't you bring me down today No matter what we do (no matter what we do) No matter what we say (no matter what we say) We're the song inside the tune (yeah, oh yeah) Full of beautiful mistakes And everywhere we go (and everywhere we go) The sun will always shine (the sun will always, always, shine) And tomorrow we might awake On the other side We're beautiful No matter what they say Yes words won't bring us down Oh no We are beautiful In every single way Yes words can't bring us down Oh no So don't you bring me down today Oh, oh Don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down, ooh Today
