Pretty Girl Lie

Edit my legs ‘til the doorway bends

It’s easy to do; you can ask my friends

We don’t really care about the message we send

If we look perfect when we play pretend

I get more likes when I don’t look like me; I hate that life!

Now the pretty girl smile is perfectly white

And the pretty girl style is super contrived

All the little kids cry; authenticity dies

And we just live the pretty girl lie

You are what you eat so I’ll become nothing

I alter my face and they call me stunning

I hate the egomaniac I’m becoming

But I’ve got your attention and at least that’s something

I get more likes when I don’t look like me; I hate that life!

Now the pretty girl smile is perfectly white

And the pretty girl style is super contrived

All the little kids cry; authenticity dies

And we just live the pretty girl lie

And the pretty girl life is making me feel

Really bad about mine; it’s not even real

All the little kids cry and reality sighs

And we just live the pretty girl lie

I break the mirror so I look the way I feel

My role models were never real

The cycle never ends the kids are living so depressed

I’m so obsessed with being you

That I become the problem too

But I don’t wanna modify reality when I’m online

In case they end up just like me

Too insecure to be happy

Because my pretty girl smile is perfectly white

And my pretty girl style is super contrived

All the little kids cry; authenticity dies

And I just live the pretty girl lie

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Now the pretty girl smile is perfectly white

And the pretty girl style is super contrived

All the little kids cry; authenticity dies

And we just live the pretty girl lie

And the pretty girl life is making me feel

Really bad about mine; it’s not even real

All the little kids cry and reality sighs

And we just live the pretty girl lie

COUNTER MELODY:

Open your mind

You’re more than a face

And you’ll never find

The feeling you chase

Start looking inside

You don’t need to change

If we can be kind

Then we’ll be okay
