Verse 1 (Cool detached vocals, polished but hollow)
Bathroom counter covered in silver rings
Hair spray haze and expensive things
Practice my smile before I go out
Like it’s part of getting dressed now
Phone camera flashing in my face
Everybody telling me I look great
Meanwhile my head feels miles away
But I know exactly what to say
Pre-Chorus (Soft airy singing)
Keep your shoulders back
Keep your voice light
Nobody wants to hear
What keeps you up at night
Chorus (Emotional dark-pop chorus, restrained but haunting)
Too pretty to cry
So I just say “I’m fine”
Lip gloss covering the damage
Like it’s part of the outfit tonight
Too pretty to lose composure
Too good at keeping it together
Everybody loves beautiful girls
Too pretty to cry
Verse 2 (Dreamy emotional vocals, emotionally numb underneath)
Cold coffee and fluorescent lights
I haven’t slept much in days this time
Still somehow I show up polished
Like exhaustion’s just another accessory
People love girls they can admire
Not girls they have to worry about
So I learned how to disappear quietly
Without ever leaving the room
Pre-Chorus (Layered haunting vocals)
Nobody teaches you
How to fall apart gracefully
So you learn how to make sadness
Look effortless instead
Chorus (Full cinematic chorus)
Too pretty to cry
So I just say “I’m fine”
Lip gloss covering the damage
Like it’s part of the outfit tonight
Too pretty to lose composure
Too good at keeping it together
Everybody loves beautiful girls
Too pretty to cry
Bridge (Emotional melodic bridge, airy and vulnerable)
Crystal reflections in bathroom lights
Perfect makeup hiding tired eyes
Maybe if I look enough like heaven
Nobody notices I’m hurting inside
Final Chorus (Huge emotional ending)
Too pretty to cry
Glass eyes under city lights
Everybody loves the image
Nobody asks what it’s hiding
Too pretty to lose composure
Even when I’m coming undone
Everybody loves beautiful girls
Too pretty to cry
Outro (Soft fading vocals)
Even diamonds break eventually
