You Don't Know How Beautiful You Are

We learn to wear these masks so young
 Like a prison that keeps joy from gettin' through
 And an angry silence grips our tongues
 These weapons and our walls become our tombs
 Yes, we're the kids who've seen the darkness
 Always looking for the light
 You fall in love and then the rains come down
 And only part of you survives
 Come surrender your hidden scars
 Leave your weapons where they are
 You've been hiding
 But I know your wounded heart
 And you don't know how beautiful you are
 I'm tired of hiding who I really am
 Underneath these alibis
 I wanna know who you really are
 I wanna meet you here tonight
 Yes, we're not born with these defenses
 We're not destined for this pain
 We hide ourselves and put the fig leaves on
 But a mask could never cover up this shame
 And where we're headed is a world apart
 From where we started, we've come so far
 I'll take my chances
 Honey, you can have my heart
 Cause you don't know how beautiful you are
 Love surrender
 Future gardens from all this rain
 Future flowers from present pain
 We're bound together and our lives are bound to change
 You don't know how beautiful you are
 And all the ashes of all these dreams
 I've seen the beauty of fallen leaves
 And someday maybe we'll find out what it means
 And you'll find out how beautiful you are
 You'll find out how beautiful you are
