Beautiful Lyrics

[MERCEDES]
Oh-oh, yeah, yeah
Ah, ooh, oh, yeah

Every day is so wonderful
And 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
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey

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
Ain't that the way it is?

'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no, no, no
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 do)
No matter what we say (No matter what we say)
We're the song that's out of tune (Yeah)
Full of beautiful mistakes (Oh yeah)
And everywhere we go (And everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine (The sun will always, always, shine)
But tomorrow we might awake (Yeah)
Over 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, no
So don't you bring me down today

Oh, oh, don't you bring me down today
Hey, yeah, oh
Don't you bring me down today
