Tragic To Be Beautiful

[Verse 1]
Lipstick on in the bathroom light
Covering up what I can’t hide
Smile so sharp it could cut through glass
Every compliment just breaks me in half
[Chorus]
Isn’t it tragic to be beautiful
Everybody wants you
Nobody knows you at all
They only love the surface
Never see the bruise beneath it all
Isn’t it tragic
Yeah it’s beautiful
How I can shine while I still feel this small
They say I’ve got it perfect
They don’t see me breaking when they call
Isn’t it tragic to be beautiful
[Verse 2]
High heels on like a paper crown
Every step shakes
But I don’t fall down
Flash of a camera
I pose on cue
But I go home and I come unglued
[Chorus]
Isn’t it tragic to be beautiful
Everybody wants you
Nobody knows you at all
They only love the surface
Never see the bruise beneath it all
Isn’t it tragic
Yeah it’s beautiful
How I can shine while I still feel this small
They say I’ve got it perfect
They don’t see me breaking when they call
Isn’t it tragic to be beautiful

Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies and bright guitars doubling the topline. Subtle vocal chops and airy reverb in the post-chorus to keep it addictive and bittersweet., beautiful
