[Verse 1]
Jeanie has a dad that might as well be dead
A case of day habit and three other kids
She's a much more beautiful person
Than you'll ever know
She hates the world
At least the one outside
She's a Myspace kid livin' a virtual life
She's a much more beautiful person
Than she'll ever know

[Chorus]
Close your eyes and let time tick by
In this life, it's OK to cry, sometimes
It can be hard to see when it's right in front of you
You're gonna smile sometimes
Your worlds will collide
I know you're tired of waiting (waiting)
So when you're through with hating (hating)
You'll be a much more beautiful person
And now you know
And now you know

[Verse 2]
Tommy can't help but feelin' alone
Walking the halls with his head hung low
And he's a much more beautiful person
Than he'll ever know
High school kids can be so nasty
In a cut-throat war for popularity
A much more beautiful person then he'll ever know
[Chorus]
Close your eyes and let time tick by
In this life, it's OK to cry, sometimes
It can be hard to see when it's right in front of you
You're gonna smile sometimes
Your worlds will collide
I know you're tired of waiting (waiting)
So when you're through with hating (hating)
You'll be a much more beautiful person
You'll be a much more beautiful person
And now you know

[Bridge: Lesley Roy, Jaret Reddick, Lesley Roy & Jaret Reddick]
And you don't feel so lucky
But I've seen so many things in you
Believe me, I know just what you're going through
So stand up and take a bow
Hold your head high
Don't ever let them get you down
It's all about you
And it's not what they do

[Chorus]
You're gonna smile sometimes
Your worlds will collide
I know you're tired of waiting
So when you're through with hating
You'll be a much more beautiful person
And now you know
And now you know
[Outro]
And now you know
