What David Said
Based of The Uglies Trilogy by Scott Westerfeld (no copyright infringement intended. I do not own the characters or plot line, only the music, lyrics, and recording.)

lyrics

I was once a normal girl
What I wanted most in the world
Was to be like everyone else
I was taught to hate myself (the way I was)

My best friend turned sixteen
One whole month alone until my surgery
But Shay decided she was enough
She’d rewired her brain to love herself

When she left I thought she would fail
Soon enough Special Circumstances was on her tail
And me in their grip, I thought was a joke
But as soon as I got there, my plans went up in smoke
(my plans went up in smoke)

For sixteen years, I had but one aim
To lose myself and be the same
But living by his side showed me
A different way to see beauty
But I made a big mistake
Everything I touch I break
Lost the best home I ever knew
Because David said I was beautiful

Good intentions pave the road to hell
Tried to burn the locked so it would never tell
But I failed at everything I tried
I was alone in all my tricks and lies

But somehow things have grown on me
I’m not the same old Tally
I was before that locket burned
So many things I’ve lost and learned

David taught me how to see
The world completely differently
We’ve discovered the secret, and thus…
The fate of the world rests on us
(The fate of the world rests on us)

I know how what I have to do
I’ll risk my life to know the truth
For David, Maddy, Az, and Shay
When the time comes we’ll have our day
Because what you think and what you do
Is what makes you beautiful
No longer afraid of what lies ahead
Because I now believe what David said
