[Verse 1]
God won't talk to me
I guess she's pretty busy lately
I'd like to believe
She's listening
I'm starting to feel
All of my bruises imagined are real
And I'll get through each day
I dig through the bad ones
To get to the good ones
Who's keeping score anyway?

[Chorus]
And this is my beautiful life
The only thing certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets, I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life

[Verse 2]
I talk in my sleep
That's the one place I know no one can hear me
I tell my self things
Don't walk in the shadows, there's always tomorrow
And I'm right where I wanna be

[Chorus]
And this is my beautiful life
The only thing certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets, I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life

[Bridge]
Oh, it hurts while it's happening
I wanna feel everything
How can you know till you try?

[Chorus]
And this is my beautiful life
My beautiful life
The only thing certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive

[Outro]
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
(Or lie)

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan (born July 2, 1986) is an American actress, singer and songwriter. Lindsay entered the world of show business at the tender age of three as a Ford model, which led to several television commercials. She did more television work as she grew up, including Disney Channel movies. Lindsay’s Disney connection, which included starring as the twins in a remake of The Parent Trap, continued into her teens and helped her expand her career into along with co-starring with Jamie Lee Curtis in 2003’s Freaky Friday, she also performed the movie’s closing song, “Ultimate”. The following year, Lindsay starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and contributed four songs to its soundtrack.

Buoyed by these successes as well as her starring role in Mean Girls, Lindsay hosted the 2004 MTV Movie Awards and won an award for Female Breakout Star. She also signed to Tommy Mottola’s Casablanca Records, releasing an aptly-titled lead single “Rumors” to her debut album, Speak, in December of 2004, with the full-length receiving a Platinum certification in the United States. The next year saw celebrity start to catch up with Lindsay after she become the ultimate Hollywood tabloid magnet. While she continued her relationship with Disney, filming a remake of Fully Loaded, Internet and tabloid rumors spread about everything from her health and love life to her late-night party habits.

By the end of 2005, Lindsay’s persona as the wild and damaged teen siren – whatever its ratio of truth to fiction – had outshone her accomplishments as an actress and a singer. And it was into this caustic tabloid climate that she released her Gold-certified second album, A Little More Personal (Raw), which featured “Confessions of a Broken Heart (Daughter to Father)” – a letter to her father addressing his alcoholism and domestic abuse. Later that year, Lindsay was switched from Casablanca to Motown Records by Universal Music Group. Though she focused more on her film career in 2006 and 2007 (co-starring with the likes of Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda) and continued to have a swirl of tabloid attention and media controversy around her, she planned work on a third album that never materialized, releasing a single “Bossy” produced by Ne-Yo and Stargate in 2008, which topped the US Dance chart.
