Neal Avron - You Don't Know How Beautiful You Are lyrics

[Verse 1] We learn to wear these masks so young Like a prison that keeps joy from getting through And an angry silence grips our tongues These weapons and our walls become our tombs We're the kids who've seen the darkness Always looking for a light You fall in love and then the rains come down And only part of you survives [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] I'm tired of hiding who I really am Underneath these alibis I want to know who you really are I want to meet you here tonight 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 can never cover up this shame [Chorus 2] 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! (Let your walls come down) [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 3] And all the ashes from 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 Yeah, you'll find out how beautiful you are
