Title: Freckles
 

I used to care so much about what others think about
Almost didn’t have a thought of my own
The slightest remark would make me 1____
On the journey of self doubt
But that was a while ago
This girl has got stronger
If I knew then what I know now
I would have told myself don’t worry any longer its okay

Cuz a face without 2_____ is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your 3_____ inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Who you are
Who you are
Who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
With the whole world full at my feet
I phantom worthy and would blame my 4_____ on the ugliness I could see
When the mirror looked at me
Sometimes I feel like the little girl who doesn’t belong in her own world
But im getting better
And im reminding myself

Cuz a face without freckles is a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little 5_____ make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

Reflecting who you are
Reflecting who you are
Hmmm
Whoooooo whoa hmmmm oooooo

Cuz a face without freckles is a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

雀斑

滿臉雀斑的瑪莉
長相平庸 卻天天畫粉掩蓋臉上瑕疵
20年來終究遇到喜歡上自己的男孩
為不讓男孩知道自己的雀斑
她總是比男孩早起蓋斑
總是在男孩睡著時才卸妝
日覆一日
2年光陰過去
某日瑪莉工作累壞了比男孩先睡
男孩驚見滿臉雀斑的模樣
嚇得不知所措
從此消失在瑪莉的人生
此後瑪莉再也沒有畫粉蓋斑
因為她在男孩身上學到了誠實
