[verse 1] They wanted something gorgeous Something easy to possess I found a war behind your smile And held the pieces that were left They praised the way you looked while I praised the way you grew They'll spend forever chasing skin I'll spend forever choosing you They called you heaven.. I saw the hell you never showed They loved your body.. I loved the girl that called it home [chorus] Strip away those pretty words Strip away that lovely face Lose those guarded eyes And every mask you learned to make I'd still find you in the dark Like I promised you I'd do They were searching for a body I was searching just for.. YOU [verse 2] You apologized for everything Even things you couldn't change Like love for you was undeserved Or something earned with pain You'd cover every scar you had Hoping no one else would see While I was counting all the reasons You were beautiful to me [chorus] Strip away those pretty words Strip away that lovely face Lose those guarded eyes And every mask you learned to make I'd still find you in the dark Like I promised you I'd do They were searching for a body I was searching just for.. YOU [bridge] When the mirror turns against you And your reflection starts to lie When every voice you've ever trusted Tells you you're not worth the fight Come find me in the silence I'll remind you of the truth They can keep their perfect picture I will always see you [final chorus] Strip away their pretty words Strip away that lovely face Lose those guarded eyes And every mask you learned to make I'd find you in the dark.. Like I promised you I'd do. They'll keep searching for a body I'll keep searching just for.. YOU
