Mama said, you're a pretty girl
what's in your head, it doesn't matter
brush your hair, fis your teeth
what you wear is all that matters
Just another stage
pageant, the pain away
this time i'm gonna take the crown
and i'm falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts
and shine the light on whatever's worth
perfection is a disease of a nation
pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts
and shine the light on whatever's worth
and tryna fix something that you can't fix
what you can't see, is the soul that need the surgery
Blonder hair, flat chest
says bigger is better
soft beach, sugar free
dinner is better
Just another stage
pageant, the pain away
this time i'm gonna take the crown
and i'm falling down, down, down
Pretty hurts
and shine the light on whatever's worth
perfection is a disease of a nation
pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts
and shine the light on whatever's worth
and tryna fix something that you can't fix
what you can't see, is the soul that need the surgery
Ain't got no doctor or therapeutic that can take the pain away
The pain's inside
And nobody frees you from your body
It's the soul that needs surgery
It's my soul that needs surgery
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
And you break when the paper signsneed you in the dark
You left a shattered mirror
And the shards of a beautiful girl
Pretty hurts
and shine the light on whatever's worth
perfection is a disease of a nation
pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts
and shine the light on whatever's worth
and tryna fix something that you can't fix
what you can't see, is the soul that need the surgery
When you'r alone all by yourself
And you're lying in your bed
Reflection stares right into you
Are you happy with yourself
It's just a way to masquerade
The illusion has been shed
Are you happy with yourself
Are you happy with yourself
Yes
