(verse 1)
The mirror whispers a lie I long to believe
Reflecting a princess I won't ever see
But beneath the surface cracks begin to show
Where insecurities grow
(Pre-chorus)
Pretty isn't pretty when it's just a mask
A painted smile hiding tears I've always had
A constant wish for acceptance and love
But all I see is darkness up above
(Chorus)
Pretty isn't pretty when they say it is
When I know deep down I'll never be his
Longing for connection I love that I know
But I know deep down I'll be taking the blow
(Verse 2)
The world's perfection I'm losing my mind
But inside I'm just crumbling when people think I'm fine
Compare myself to others a filtered life
Can't show it won't show it I'm losing my mind
(Pre-chorus)
Pretty isn't pretty when it's just a mask
A painted smile holding tears of always had
A constant wish for acceptance and love
But all I see is darkness up above
(Chorus)
Pretty isn't pretty when they say it is
When I know deep down I'll never be his
Longing for connection I love that I know
But I know deep down I'll be taking the blow
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I'll break free
Embrace imperfections I won't think I won't care
Or look at myself passing the mirror
(Chorus ending)
Pretty isn't pretty when they say it
When I know deep down I'll never be his
Longing for connection I love that I know
But I know deep down I'll be taking the blow
