Everyone I see looks nothing like me
My twisted scrap, their asymmetry
They're celebrated, I'm left jaded
Their photos framed while mine are left faded

It's not what you do, but it's what you look like
Unobtainable perfection burned in my eyes
People say that looks are not what make you
But this is proven to be untrue

Ja, Ich bin hässlich!
The camera doesn't love me
So hässlich!
The mirror breaks before me
Ich bin hässlich!
So hässlich
Ich bin nicht in deinen Fantasien
Nein!

Everyone I see is turning away from me
Turning their backs, I'm not what they wanna see
They're celebrated, I'm left hated
Unwanted in this world they've created!

It's not what you do, but it's what you look like
Unobtainable perfection etched in my mind
Please don't say that looks don't really make you
But this is proven to be untrue

Ja, Ich bin hässlich!
The camera doesn't love me
So hässlich!
The mirror breaks before me
Ich bin hässlich!
So hässlich!
Ich bin nicht in deinen Fantasien
Nein!

And so I look to the heavens
Demanding answers from God
Why did you make me so broken?
You made me broken and scarred!

Ja, Ich bin hässlich!
The camera doesn't love me
So hässlich!
The mirror breaks before me
Ich bin hässlich!
So hässlich!
Ich bin nicht in deinen Fantasien
Nein!

Ich bin hässlich!
So hässlich!
Ich bin hässlich!
So Hässlich!
Ja!
