I was once a normal girl What I wanted most in the world Was to be like everyone else I was taught to hate myself (the way I was)
My best friend turned sixteen One whole month alone until my surgery But Shay decided she was enough She'd rewired her brain to love herself
When she left I thought she would fail Soon enough Special Circumstances was on her tail And me in their grip, I thought was a joke But as soon as I got there, my plans went up in smoke (my plans went up in smoke)
For sixteen years, I had but one aim To lose myself and be the same But living by his side showed me A different way to see beauty But I made a big mistake Everything I touch I break Lost the best home I ever knew Because David said I was beautiful
Good intentions pave the road to hell Tried to burn the locked so it would never tell But I failed at everything I tried I was alone in all my tricks and lies
But somehow things have grown on me I'm not the same old Tally I was before that locket burned So many things I've lost and learned
David taught me how to see The world completely differently We've discovered the secret, and thus... The fate of the world rests on us
I know how what I have to do I'll risk my life to know the truth For David, Maddy, Az, and Shay When the time comes we'll have our day Because what you think and what you do Is what makes you beautiful No longer afraid of what lies ahead Because I now believe what David said
