lyrics

"Enregistrée dans l'intention de l'inclure dans l'album jusqu'à la dernière minute, lorsque Mellon Collie passa de 31 à 27 chansons, c'est une interprétation intéresante de ce qui a été essentiellement une chanson acoustique. Flood et moi avons essayé environ quatre versions différentes avant d'opter pour celle-là. Une version que j'apprécie est juste moi et une guitare saturée. Mais à la fin, la première version l'emporta, pour être seulement mixée dans l'obscurité éternelle en tant que face B."
"Started as an album song until the very last moment, when Mellon Collies\ was cut from 31 to 28 songs, this is an interesting interpretation of what had essentially been an acoustic song. Flood and I tried about four different versions before settling on this one. One version that I liked was just me and a distorted guitar. But in the end this version won, only to be mixed into eternal obscurity as a B-side."

Accordage standard un demi-ton au-dessous (Mib-Lab-Réb-Solb-Sib-Mib).

Etouffez les cordes en son clair tout au long de la chanson.
Palm mute and clean sound all over the song.

Paroles / Lyrics

i don't look in the mirror
i don't like what i see staring back at me
everything is clearer
i'll never see what you see

it's not me
so beautiful and free

i'll never be what you need
i can't help it at all
i was born so beautiful
but now i'm ugly

and i rot in my skin
as a piece of me dies every day
i know i'm nothing
i know there's nothing i can say

to change
the judgement in their ways

i'll never be what you need
i can't help it at all my love was
so beautiful but now i'm ugly

yeah
i'm good enough but i don't care
i'm good enough but i'm not there
i'm good enough but i don't care
the sun is out but i'm not there
i'm good enough but i don't care
the sun is out but i'm not there
i'm good enough

i don't look in the mirror
i don't like what i see staring back at me
everything is clearer i'll never see what you see

and i rot in my skin
as a piece of me dies every day
i know i'm nothing
because i'm ugly
