Maybe it scares you

maybe it makes you cry

Maybe it reminds you of all that you deny

To see the good

you never would

Without the ugly

there is no beautiful

Without the ugly

there is no beautiful

Walk down the street

and I turn my blind eye

Don't want to meet

the parts of myself I might find

To see the good

you never would

Without the ugly

there is no beautiful

Without the ugly

there is no beautiful

So Venus tries

to sympathize

We make her look so good

As kind is to cruel

as bitter is to sweet

This life has a rule

that the two must somehow meet

To see the good

you never would

Without the ugly

there is no beautiful

Without the ugly

there is no beautiful
