Less Than Beautiful
Headrush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought we could be friends
I just watch your lips they never seem to end
I thought things would be fine
You take what you like as long as it's not mine

Again, again

I hate to disappoint you
I'm doing fine without you
I'm sorry that I made you feel less than beautiful
I hate to disappoint you
I'm better off without you
I made you feel less than beautiful

Why can't you try to relax
You say what you like but just don't talk back
Why can't you hear what I say
You can do what you like as long as it's my way

Again, again

I hate to disappoint you
I'm doing fine without you
I'm sorry that I made you feel less than beautiful
I hate to disappoint you
I'm better off without you
I made you feel less than beautiful

It's not the time or the place to be up in my face
So this won't go anywhere
It's not the air that I breathe that will stop what you need
So this won't go anywhere
You can be loved or replaced or stare out into space
But this won't go anywhere

I hate to disappoint you
I'm doing fine without you
I'm sorry that I made you feel less than beautiful
I hate to disappoint you
I'm better off without you
I made you feel less than beautiful

I hate to disappoint you
I should've gone around you
You make me feel less than beautiful

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "Less Than Beautiful" by Headrush, the singer expresses their disappointment in a failed friendship with someone who was selfish and didn't reciprocate their care and consideration. They had hoped to be friends and expected things to be okay with mutual respect, but the other person's behavior didn't align with their expectations. The singer feels belittled, criticized, and unappreciated by the other person's constant talking and one-sidedness. Despite the singer's efforts to communicate and compromise, the other person only wants things their way and doesn't listen.


The chorus suggests that the singer has moved on and doesn't need the other person, even though they regret making the other person feel inferior or "less than beautiful." The second stanza continues to explain the other person's flaws, such as their inability to "relax" or "hear what [the singer] say[s]." The singer implies that the other person can choose to love or ignore them, but ultimately, their relationship is going nowhere. In the final stanza, the singer concludes that they should have avoided the other person altogether to avoid feeling "less than beautiful" due to their negativity and toxicity.
