Summary[]
After returning to East High, Nini (Olivia Rodrigo) is given a new role on the production of Beauty and the Beast. She's asked by Miss Jenn (Kate Reinders) to write a new duet between her new role, the Enchanted Rose and the Beast. As she struggles to write a new song for they, she writes a solo instead, which reflects her actual feelings for her boyfriend, Ricky (Joshua Bassett). As she performs the song, Carlos (Frankie Rodriguez) records it on his phone in secret.
Lyrics[]
Nini:
All my life, I've seen myself through your eyes
Wonderin' if I am good enough for your time
You love me, but for all the wrong reasons
Am I something to you and not someone?
'Cause I feel trapped in this pedestal you put me on
You tell me that I'm beautiful, but I think that's an understatement
'Cause I am more than what I am to you
You say I'm perfect, but I've got thorns with my petals too
And I won't be confined to your point of view
I'm breaking through the glass you put me in
'Cause my beauty's from within
My beauty's from within
So I am done living my life just for you
You watched me wither and now you'll watch me bloom
You're hiding in the dark but I'm reaching for the Sun
'Cause I am more than what I am to you
You say I'm pretty, but I've got magic that you never knew
And I won't be confined to your point of view
I'm breaking through the glass you put me in 'cause
I am more than what I am to you
You say I'm perfect, but I've got thorns with my petals too
And I won't be confined to your point of view
I'm breaking through the glass you put me in
'Cause my beauty's from within
