You said that I wasn´t pretty
So I just believed you
And you said that I wasn´t special
So I lived that way
With critical gazes and brutal amazement
And how my reflection could be so imperfect
With all of my blemishes, how could somebody want me?

[Chorus:]
But God loves ugly
He doesn´t see the way I see
Oh god takes ugly
And turns it into to something that is beautiful
Apparently I´m beautiful
Cause you love me
Whoa, oh

I tried to clean up the outside
All shiny and new
Worked over time to thin up and look right
But inside I knew
That deep in the bottom were secrets I thought I could try to ignore
Old ghosts in my corridors
Never get tired of haunting the past that´s in me

[Chorus:]
But God loves ugly
He doesn´t see the way I see
Oh god takes ugly
And turns it into to something that is beautiful
Apparently I´m beautiful
Cause you love me

Help me believe why you love me
When I know you see
You see everything
Help me believe why you love me
When I know you see
Inside and you still say I´m beautiful

You´re telling me I´m beautiful
Your screaming out I´m beautiful
And I´m finding out I´m beautiful
You´re making me so beautiful
And I can I´m beautiful
Cause you love me
Whoa, oh
