Beautiful Disaster


Beautiful Disaster - Jon McLaughlin

Love this song because of the heart behind it. So many people are not happy with who they are. People want to change to be something else because they feel they are not good enough as a person. So many people have self-image problems and would do anything to make themselves feel better. This song speaks about being confident in who you are and not worrying about changing for others. My favorite line in the song is: "She's just the way she is but no one's told her that's okay"

She loves her mama's lemonade
And hates the sound that goodbye's make
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her

She swears that there's no difference
Between the lies and compliments
It's all the same if everybody leaves her

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough
The pictures that she sees make her cry

She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in-between a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's given boys what they want
And tries to act nonchalant
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction

She never stays the same for long
Assuming that she'll get it wrong
Perfect only in her imperfection

She's not a drama queen
She doesn't want to feel this way
Only 17 but tired

She would change everything, for happy ever after
Caught in the in-between a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She's just the way she is but no one's told her that's okay

She would change everything, everything, just ask her
Caught in the in-between a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home

She would change everything, for happy ever after
Caught in the in-bewteen a beautiful disaster
She just needs someone to take her home
She just needs someone to take her home

I think you were mistaken...that is the best part.

No it's not because that is her still in the mindset that she is not good enough. My favorite part validates her as person.
