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
O,h 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, You're screaming out I'm so beautiful
And I'm finding out I'm beautiful, You're making me so beautiful
And I can see I'm beautiful cause You love me, whoa, oh
