Look at everyone around you
look at the guy all the girls love
get to know him
he's nothing special
look at the girl everyone wishes to be
get to know her
she's not all she seems
look at the quiet girl next to you
get to know her
she's nothing like you'd ever imagine
look at me...you say I'm perfect
get to know me
see my flaws
and finally look in the mirror
see the one who is all I could ever ask for
get to know you
and you're even more
