Such A Beautiful Girl
Juliana Hatfield · How To Walk Away [2008]
Though she's still young she's had a hard life
But she's not giving up believing in fate
And it makes a person strong being alone for so long
The family home, it's like living in a war zone
Holes are punched in walls but no one seems to care at all
She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
They wanna knock that smile off her face
So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams
It's her favorite escape
And she knows it can only get better so with patience she waits
No one ever had her back, they only laugh
When she cries but in God's eyes
She's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
And she's such a beautiful girl and she lives in an ugly world
They wanna knock that smile off her face
So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams
It's her favorite escape
And she knows it can only get better and with patience she waits
She's such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world
She's such a beautiful girl but she lives in an ugly world
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
They wanna knock that smile off her face
So she shuts her door and she writes and dreams
It's her favorite escape
Such A Beautiful Girl
