Beauty more than just skin deep
Wanting what is good inside
But this world makes us forget
And cater to our pride

Waiting seems like forever
Some things take too long
They give you time to realize
Your reasons were all wrong

And when you know
Where your thoughts flow
It might just make you cry

'Cause now you know
Why love won't grow
Beneath our plastic sky

We start with twinkles in our eyes
Romantic fantasies
We hold ideals like fragile flags
Unblemished, undiseased

Then we find the world's not blind
And beauty lights a fire
Even though we long for love
We trade it for desire

And when you know
Where your thoughts flow
It might just make you cry

'Cause now you know
Why love won't grow
Beneath our plastic sky

And when you know
Where your thoughts flow
It might just make you cry

'Cause now you know
Why love won't grow
Beneath our plastic sky
