[sergioamaynez]

Why would he keep talking when she is obviously not interested in him but into her apparience? That's such a problem in this society. everyone is into their own looks that they center their entire life on makeup and magazines and clothes. I'm sorry, girls, but what I'm trying to say is that the world does not revolve around yourselves.

[DeathNotex3]

Perhaps you should check your grammar before you post things online.

And obviously you don't understand the video at all. She's saying that her outer appearance doesn't show what she's really like inside,

[Kniitte]

all i have to say is Grow up & put yourself in other people shoes rather then your own

[Neutralbuttafly]

How old is the poet? Those are some pretty sophisticated words..

[kal3idosc0pe]

Un-fucking-believable!

[Habeshya143]

BOOYAHH!!! That was UN-BELIEVEABLE!! WoooooooooooW!!!

[XanBcoo]

This would have been so much more powerful if they didn't get a girl who looks like she spends an hour putting on makeup every morning.

Great video, though.

[VerticalXX]

This would have been a less paradoxical and more poignant message if Karen Lum wasnt wearing make up and trendy jeans. Very well edited and interestingly shot though.

[nataliejrussell]

[mraznhustla]

lyrics are all on imeem

[jlshadoww]

Ah so the girl is Karen Lum and the guy with glasses is the William dude who co-produced it?

Anyway... interesting..

[pinoyboi1215]

amazing. more asian girls in my area need to be like this... they have no self-respect over here. but it's more sad than anything.

"and rejection never sounded so sweet....."

[laphoo]
