Tale As Old As Time

Who can ever learn to love a beast ? I want someone to look past what they see .

But I ' m a monster as they all say . Should someone never come , my heart will wither away .

Each petal falls as my hope wears thin . No one will ever see the true person I am within .

A rose more beautiful than all I ' ve ever seen . She tamed the beast inside , and saw in my heart , beauty .
