歌詞

Please dry your eyes, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful It's not your fault, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful You're not the one to blame Soon it will be okay One day you'll realize Your beauty It was a Saturday This cold afternoon Inside this house there lived a frightened young girl She didn't know what she should do 'Cuz she missed her mother so She was left home all alone with her stepfather Please dry your eyes, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful It's not your fault, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful You're not the one to blame Soon it will be okay One day you'll realize Your beauty He touched her places That he shouldn't have touched He did some things to her That he shouldn't have done And she ran into her room Paged her mother, 9-1-1 And the tragedy began For this young girl She told her mother, her family, and friends No one believed her 'cuz before this had been She was filled with hate and anger Towards her stepfather 'Cuz he took her mother from her when they married Please dry your eyes, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful It's not your fault, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful You're not the one to blame Soon it will be okay One day you'll realize Your beauty She looked for a father In the men that she saw and Thought that all she had to offer was her body No one could figure out why This young girl would live her life In such pain and unhappiness She was so beautiful She rebelled and one day the young girl fell in love with another man like her stepdad He abused her emotionally and made her feel like she was worthless Hope one day she'll realize And see the beauty in her eyes All she needs is prayer and strength She's beautiful Please dry your eyes, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful It's not your fault, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful You're not the one to blame Soon it will be okay One day you'll realize Your beauty Don't cry, you're beautiful It's not your fault, young girl Don't cry, you're beautiful You're not the one to blame Soon it will be okay One day you'll realize Your beauty Don't hold your head down low You've got so much, so much, so much, so much, so much to be proud of You can still live your life I promise you you'll survive Girl I love you You're beautiful
