Every Piece of You


Some foundation, some powder

Don't forget to line your eyes

And paint your lips

And just a little bit of blush

And cover up that pimple

That eye is a little bit bigger than the other

Pluck, cover, paint

Pluck, cover, paint

Hide what isn't suitable 

But you see nothing suitable and you cover it all

Every imperfection

 

I feel that I should let you know

That I like both of your eyes

I think they're perfect

And if you wipe away all of the makeup?

You're still beautiful

Every piece of you, every blemish

Everything you call a flaw, but I call unique

And every single piece of you?

That's what I call awesome

You look in the mirror and see a mistake

I look and you and I see perfection

Don't cover up and hide away

I want to see you shine like only you can

Everything is awesome

Every little piece of you
