PRETTY

You’re posting all your angles like they’ll save you,
Chasing thumbs up like they’re prayers you’re due.
Every filter’s just a bandage on the wounds you won’t admit,
Baby, confidence ain’t real when you gotta manufacture it.
You think you’re the spark everyone’s dying to touch, But when the phone goes dark, you don’t like you that much.

Pretty doesn’t fix it, and you know it.
Validation isn’t therapy stop trying to control it.
You keep screaming for attention just to drown out the noise,
Acting like you’re flawless, but you’re scared of your own voice.
I hope you find the truth you keep running from inside it, Pretty doesn’t fix it.


You swear you’re doing great, yeah, “living your best life”
But you crop out all the pieces that don’t fit your perfect vibe.
I used to think I broke you, but you shattered long before,
I was just the mirror you smashed on your way out the door.
Your ego’s on a leash tied tight to your pain
And every pic is just a plea “Somebody tell me I’m okay”

Pretty doesn’t fix it, and you know it.
Validation isn’t therapy stop trying to control it.
You keep screaming for attention just to drown out the noise,
Acting like you’re flawless, but you’re scared of your own voice.
I hope you find the truth you keep running from inside it, Pretty doesn’t fix it.

One day the comments stop,
One day the spotlight fades,
One day you’ll wake up alone
With the mess that you made.
And no amount of pretty poses
covers scars that deep
You can’t love the world louder
than you hate yourself to sleep.

Pretty doesn’t fix it, and you know it.
You can’t hide behind attention no amount will ever hold it.
You keep begging for applause, but it won’t quiet the truth 
The only one who can save you has always been you.
I hope you dig beneath the damage instead of just disguising it, Pretty doesn’t fix it

I hope someday you see the love you never let yourself receive
But until you heal for real no mirror’s gonna set you free.
