Beyond Pretty (tiktok version)

They see my smile, they see my face,

But never ask what’s underneath the lace.

Painted lips can’t hide the ache,

I’m breaking softly with every step I take.

I’m more than mirrors, more than skin,

A fragile storm that’s caged within.

If only someone looked my way,

Would they still stay?

I’m beyond pretty, I’m scars and pain,

A thousand battles I can’t explain.

Would you still love me if you knew,

The pieces I’ve been walking through?

I’m beyond pretty, I’m flesh and soul,

Trying to heal, trying to be whole.

Every compliment cuts too deep,

A crown of roses that makes me bleed.

Don’t call me perfect, don’t call me fine,

The cracks are real, and they are mine.

I’m more than whispers in the night,

A burning heart that wants to fight.

If only someone saw it clear,

Would they still hear?

I’m beyond pretty, I’m scars and pain,

A thousand battles I can’t explain.

Would you still love me if you knew,

The pieces I’ve been walking through?

I’m beyond pretty, I’m flesh and soul,

Trying to heal, trying to be whole.

Tear away the mask I wear,

Will you stay or will you stare?

Even broken, I’m still me,

More than what the eyes can see.

I’m beyond pretty, I’m scars and pain,

A thousand battles I can’t explain.

Would you still love me if you knew,

The pieces I’ve been walking through?

I’m beyond pretty, I’m flesh and soul,

Trying to heal, trying to be whole.
