	It hurts so bad when you fall from so high, that you begin to fear the heights... But now at least I know that I am beautiful.

	Story Behind the Song This is another song I wrote during the summer after my first breakup. I grew up hating the way I looked and never having anyone but my parents tell me I was beautiful or appreciating me, so then when i met my first boyfriend it stunned and astounded me that he thought I was not just pretty but gorgeous, and he loved me.. but then when he dumped me it hurt so bad to have it all and lose it... it really kinda screws you up inside. Lyrics Do you know what it was like for me? Everybody hating what they see Not a boy who'd spare a second glance Never one who'd take that chance Do you know what it was like for me? In the mirror never seeign what you want to see Every day it hurts a little more Til you wonder what you're trying for But he came along and he told me I was beautiful He saw the light that shined inside of me I never knew what it felt like to be beautiful That's what he gave to me. Do you know what it was like for me? Everyone saying, this is what you're s'posed to be Never wanted, but by those who have to love you 'Til you realize that everyone's so far above you He came along and he showed me I was beautiful He saw the fire, that burned inside of me I never knew what it felt like to be beautiful That's what he gave to me Then he changed his mind The beauty he had seen before was now not worth his time SOmething broke inside And as I cried, I think my beauty died... So please, if you care, do not tell me I am beautiful Don't raise the hopes that live inside of me I'd rather never know the joy of being beautiful Than face the pain when you leave. 'cause he came along and he told me I was beautiful He saw the light that shined inside of me I never knew what it felt like to be beautiful, That's what he gave to me.. And he came along and he showed me I was beautiful He lit the fire that burns inside of me And I never knew what it felt like to be.. beautiful That's what he gave to me.. Yes, that's what he gave to me.
