she's the girl in the back row to the left of who she wants to be
oh, and she's the sweetest forgotten surprise in this life we lead
and the mirrors don't do justice to the girl inside fighting to breathe
she's looking for something, she's fighting for something
to believe
and she sings...
colour me wonderful
make me feel beautiful
send out my heart to the see
oh, this life's a reflection of me
but it's so hard to be anything
least of all free of me
well the years weren't forgotten, they were built up beneath all her tears
but she came into realizing insecurity caused her fears
she's since grounded her anger and is able to look in the mirror
it's far from all over, she knows it's not over
she believes
"it's ok," she says
"it's all up here in my head.
these are all things we deal with inside
you've gotta help me find pride
and find out where i've been."
and she sings...
colour me wonderful
make me feel beautiful
send out my heart to the sea
oh, this life's a reflection of me
but it's so hard to be anything
least of all free of me
and she's washing her of these memories
she's turning from all of the doubt
she's filling up all the emptiness
the scars changed her life and she's coming around
and she's washing her of these memories
she's turning from all of the doubt
she's filling up all the emptiness
the scars changed her life and she's coming around
the colour is wonderful
i made me beautiful
heart, come on in from the sea
oh, this life's a reflection of me
but these scars help me be something
finally all of me
