Story of a girl who lost her world, so she could be beautiful

Fifteen, so sweet, you'd think,
But she's got a secret.

Made up her mind,
The day she came to find out that he left.

I guess there's another girl,
This time blue eyes, blonde hair.

She'll do anything to catch his eye,
But she knows she'll never compare.

Skips school, won't eat, can barely sleep,
Takes drastic measure.

Runs seven miles a day in the sun,
Wearing a sweater.

She turns the radio on so no one hears what she's doing.
Cause she's convinced herself he'll come back to her, when she's perfect.

She's just a girl, who doesn't know she's already beautiful.
One year ago, when you had seen her, you would never know,
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates herself,
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticize, she'd rather be beautiful than alive.

Nineteen, one shrink, two times a week, but nothing's changing.
Mom cries at night for her life, cause she knows she's fading.

She's trying to turn around, but she's too far in the wrong direction.
Wasn't supposed to be this way, all she wanted was some affection.

She's just a girl, who doesn't know she's already beautiful.
Five years ago, if you had seen her you would never know,
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates herself,
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticize, she'd rather be beautiful than alive.

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Twenty three,
Now she's buried,
Underneath red roses.
I'm gonna miss her
And I hope someone learns from this.

Maybe she's happy now,
Maybe she's finally free,
Of not feeling good enough,
And maybe she's rid of her disease.

She's just a girl, who didn't feel that she was beautiful.
Seven years ago, if you had seen her you would never know,
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates herself,
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticized, she'd rather be beautiful than alive.
