[Verse 1]
You're standing at your bathroom mirror
Cryin’ "What did I do?" tears
Your friends are out and you're right here
There's a party, you didn’t know
You just found out from your phone
Did they not want you to go?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh yeah, you feel that twisting knife
Oh, I know it ain't right
[Chorus]
Fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But, honey, just take it from me
The world is hard on beautiful things
[Verse 2]
You're pretty and you're smart
God made a work of art
Girl, don't pick yourself apart
And quit wonderin' why he did it
Nothing 'bout you needs fixin’
It ain’t what you are, it's what he isn’t
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know it don't feel fair
But, oh, I can't count the times I'vе been there
[Chorus]
Fires burn up canyons
A hurricanе can wreck a beach
And words can make a mockingbird forget they’re born to sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But honey, just take it from me
The world is hard on beautiful things
[Bridge]
You shine, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
You shine, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
[Chorus]
'Cause fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Come on pretty mockingbird, I wanna hear you sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But, honey, just take it from me
Just hold on, just breathe
The world is hard on beautiful things
[Outro]
You shine, it's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
