Beautiful to Me
Olly Murs/Musicfire.in Lyrics

She, ties her hair up tight Puts her armour on When she steps outside She, lives in black and white And the colours gone, But its in her eyes
She prepares herself for the outside world by putting on her protective layer, and appears emotionless to the outside observer. Though her world may seem colorless, it is seen in the expressions of her eyes.

Time and time again we're going back to the start And I try and try again to bring some light to the dark I know everyday's a battle and it tears her apart And I don't know why And I'm picking up the pieces when they fall to her feet She's been fighting all the demons so she'll never be free She's been hiding in the shadows yeah its hard to believe, But I don't know why
Despite best efforts to help, her struggles are continuous and unexplained, causing internal conflict and chaos that leaves her shattered. Her ongoing battle with internal demons keeps her in the shadows and therefore unseen.

Love, don't ever change the way you are, You light the sky just like a star I don't care what you say you're Beautiful to me, oh
Regardless of what others may think or say, the individual is perfect just the way they are - shining as brightly as a star in the sky, and epitomizing beauty.

She, she never gets it right And it feels like rain on a perfect night And I'll, I'll be a hand to hold You can push me hard, but I won't let go
Regardless of perceived shortcomings and failures, they have someone to be present - even through the harder times - and can count on them to never let go of the connection.

Love, open your arms and let it go, You're so amazing don't you know, I don't care what you say you're Beautiful to me, oh
The individual is encouraged to open themselves up to love and experience it fully. The singer already knows that they are amazing, and their perceived flaws hold no sway over the love and admiration felt towards them.

Light breaks through your hair and They all stop and stare and I'd go anywhere oh why can't you just see that I'm crazy about you I can't live without you You don't see it but you're Beautiful to me
The light represents the beauty and radiance emanating from the individual, causing others to take notice. The singer's feelings are intense and unwavering, but not necessarily reciprocated. Nonetheless, the individual is still seen as beautiful and held in high regard.

Love, don't ever change the way you are You light the sky just like a star I don't care what you say you're Beautiful to me, oh Love, open your heart and let it go You're so amazing don't you know I don't care what you say you're Beautiful to me You're beautiful to me
The singer reiterates that the individual should never alter themselves, as they are already perfect. They implore that the person should open themselves up to love, and recognizes the inherent beauty within the individual - irrespective of personal shortcomings or external judgement.
