Pretty Hurts

[Verse 1]Mama said you're a pretty girlWhat's in your head it doesn't matterBrush your hair, fix your teethWhat you wear is all that matters

[Pre-Hook]Just another stagePageant the pain awayThis time I'm gonna take the crownWithout falling down, down, down

[Hook]Pretty hurtsWe shine the light on whatever's worsePerfection is a disease of a nationPretty hurtsWe shine the light on whatever's worseYou try to fix somethingBut you can't fix what you can't seeIt's the soul that needs a surgery

[Verse 2]Blonder hair, flat chestTV says bigger is betterSouth Beach, sugar freeVogue says thinner is better

[Pre-Hook][Hook]

[Bridge]Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain awayThe pain's inside and nobody frees you from your bodyIt's my soul, it's my soul that needs surgeryIt's my soul that needs surgeryPlastic smiles and denial can only take you so farAnd you break when the faithless side leads you in the darkYou're left with shattered mirrorsAnd the shards of a beautiful girl

[Hook]

[Outro]When you're alone all by yourselfAnd you're lying in your bedReflection stares right into youAre you happy with yourself?You stripped away the masqueradeThe illusion has been shedAre you happy with yourself?Yes
