"Ugly" lyrics - FIRST AID KIT

FIRST AID KIT
"Ugly"

I thought that being skinny was the answer to all my problems
I thought if you found me pretty then I'll be fine
I thought if you loved me I'd be a person
It's only if you wanted me but I have peace of mind

I thought that being smart meant impressing others
I thought growing up meant pressing the lies
I thought I had to be someone in order for you to like me
Couldn't see I already was long before you crossed my mind

[Chorus:]
So if I'm ugly
Well I'm so much more than that
I'm so much more than you'll ever know
Oh if I'm ugly
I am still so much more than that
I'm so much more than you'll ever know

I thought I had to be everything that you could ever need
I thought I had to be strong so that you'd never hurt
I thought the biggest thing in life was to live for someone else
But I kept on failing and it led me in the back

[Chorus:]
So if I'm ugly
Well I'm so much more than that
I'm so much more than you'll ever know
Oh if I'm ugly
I am still so much more than that
I'm so much more than you'll ever know

[Bridge:]
But I looked at my own mother
Who told me to be strong
When the world urged me to be better
She assured me it will

[Chorus:]
So if I'm ugly
Well I'm so much more than that
I'm so much more than you'll ever know
So what if I'm ugly
I am still so much more than that
I'm so much than you'll ever know
