Lyrics
She said sometimes I feel like I am going to explode.
Sometimes even Jesus turns away.
Sometimes I am paralyzed by everything I know.
Most times I just make it through the day.
You stand there screaming that I'm stupid and I'm weak.
Why do you have to be so cruel?
I don't need someone to tell me what I already know.
I need someone to tell me that I'm beautiful.
I'm going crazy in this lousy little room.
I'd run away but there's nothing for me there.
I blew up all the bridges and I set my past on fire.
I guess I traded one hell for another.
There's cows up on the hillside, there's rain on the wind.
The sky is crying with the devil's feathered jewels.
I need a drink, I need a dream, I need some hope, I need some love.
I need someone to tell me that I'm beautiful.
I need a drink, I need a dream, I need some hope, I need some love.
I need someone to tell me that I'm beautiful.
I need someone to tell me that I'm beautiful.
