KEYS
Every day 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
TRYING HARD TO FILL THE EMPTINESS, THE PIECES GONE,
LEFT THE PUZZLE UNDONE, IS THAT THE WAY IT IS?

You are beautiful no matter what they say

Words can't bring you down, oh no
'Cause you are 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 say
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go,
The sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might
Awake on the other side

'Cause we are beautiful no matter what they say

Yes, words won't bring us down, no 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

Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
