6. Song: Freckles by Natasha Bedingfield
I used to care so much about what others think about
I almost didn’t have a thought of my own
The slightest remark would make me embark on a journey of self-doubt
But that was a while ago this girl has got stronger and if I knew then what I know now
I would have told myself Don’t worry any longer, it’s okay
Chorus:
‘Cause a face without freckles is like a sky without the stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, loveable, valuable
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are, who you are, who you are, who you are
I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines
Would the whole world fall at my feet
I felt unworthy and would blame my failures
On the ugliness I could see when the mirror looked at me
Sometimes I still feel like that little girl
Who doesn’t belong in her own world
But I’m getting better
And reminding myself that a face
Without freckles . . .
Song: Freckles by Natasha Bedingfield
