I think you are all going in the right direction with this.
But I disagree.
I believe that the girl in this song is ugly. Flat out ugly. Even the singer sees it, but his point is that he doesn't care that she isn't attractive. He is trying to tell her that she doesn't need sparkling beauty to be with him. He thinks she is beautiful as she is.
He says, "She didn't need to find her beauty, she didn't need to find a way to show me."
In plain words, he is saying, "Honey, you don't need to be pretty to impress me.
He also states, "She had a very pretty face, but not the way you would think so."
This, obviously, states that she is not pretty the way YOU would think so. But to him, she is a treasure. A real piece of art.
What angers the singer the most is that people deliberately point it out to put her down. He says, and you can tell it hurts him by the tone of his voice, "They took her moments of feeling alive, and made them moments of dying inside." He hates that people would try to put her down for not being attractive. He sees her as the "one song left in his symphony" no matter how beautiful she is.
True... But also, not true. Think about it like this:
True... But also, not true. Think about it like this:
He loves her for who she is. So he thinks she is beautiful. I don't believe that "Annie" is ugly. But maybe, to others, she's not as beautiful as the movie stars and the magazine covers. But he still thinks she is beautiful... Like, there's not a doubt in his mind that says she is ugly. But others think that she is... As for the "you don't need to find a way to show me" I think that means that she doesn't need to wear makeup and tight clothes around...
