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
