Lyrics

Hold your head up high
Beautiful
Open up your eyes

All through the winter
Waiting for him
You sat at your window
Tearing within
You wouldn?t lose your mind
Lose your mind

Scratching the moments
Of bitter regret
Try to remember
Try to forget
You wouldn?t lose your mind
Oh no
Lose your mind

Jealousy gone cold and weary
No place to go
Creeping round the circles in your head

You got to know
You?ve gotta let it show
You?re beautiful.
In the morning light
Hold your head up high
Take a chance and fly
And be beautiful
Open up your eyes.
