Not Pretty Enough - Kasey Chambers

Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart to broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken
Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me

I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break
I crave, I love, I've waited long enough
I try as hard as I can

Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart to broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken
Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me

I laugh, I feel, I make believe it's real
I fall, I freeze, I pray down on my knees
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man
I try as hard as I can

Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart to broken
Do I cry too much
Am I too outspoken
Don't I make you laugh
Should I try it harder
Why do you see right through me

Why do you see
Why do you see
Why do you see right through me
Why do you see
Why do you see
Why do you see right through me
Why do you see
Why do you see
Why do you see right through me
Why do you see
Why do you see
Why do you see right through me

I first heard this song on my first night shift in Starbucks.. which was 4 years ago. It struck me to the core. It is as if, the song is about me. I felt myself being strip bare naked, for everyone to see. How I feel about myself, truly. The song... represent me and my insecurities.

I wish that, one day, when I listen to this song, I would not be affected by it anymore.

*yes, des. i'll try to be less vain. i know that beauty is not only skin deep. but somehow, even if u are beautiful inside, you will require to be a bit beautiful on the outside, to be accepted by others.
