Convinced

And just when I had myself convinced;
Convinced I couldn't be loved,
Convinced I didn't deserve to be loved,
Convinced I did deserve to be miserable,
And convinced that was all I would ever deserve...

And then you come along, and it's different.
I'm not pretty,
But you think I'm gorgeous.
I'm a horrible person and I've done horrible things,
But you don't think it matters.
I'm not easy to love,
But you do it anyway.
You love me and want me to be happy,
Perhaps in spite of what I deserve,
Or maybe just what I think I deserve.

And maybe you had yourself convinced too.
Maybe you thought you couldn't be loved,
Or maybe that you didn't deserve it.
Maybe you thought you deserved to be miserable.
Maybe you were about to give up.

And perhaps a silly little girl came along and changed everything.
Perhaps you think you're ugly,
But I know your incredibly handsome.
Perhaps you think you're a horrible person,
But I know you'd never try to hurt anyone.
Perhaps you're not quite easy to love,
But guess what... I love you anyway,
In spite of what you deserve,
Or maybe just what you think you deserve.

And it's nice to be someone's princess...
And to dream about the day when we're finally together,
And I'll leave this God damned place and never ever look back.
And it won't matter. Because I'll have you.
