Lyrics

bought a bunch of makeup tryna cover up my face
i started to skip lunch
stopped eating cake on birthdays

bought a new prescription to try and stay calm
cuz there’s always something missing
there’s always something in the mirror that i think looks wrong

when pretty isn’t pretty enough what do you do
and everybody’s keeping it up so you think it’s you
i could change up my body and change up my face i could try every lipstick in every shade
but i’d always feel the same
cuz pretty isn’t pretty enough anyways
you can win the battle
but you’ll never win the war fix the things you hated
and you’d still feel so insecure

and i try to ignore it but it’s everything i see it’s on the posters on the wall
it’s in the shitty magazines
it’s in my phone, it’s in my head, it’s in the boys i bring to bed it’s all around, it’s all the time
i don’t know why i even try
when pretty isn’t pretty enough

what do you do
and everybody’s keeping it up so you think it’s you
i could change up my body and change up my face i could try every lipstick in every shade
and i’d always feel the same cuz pretty isn’t pretty enough

and i bought all the clothes that they told me to buy i chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life and none of it matters and none of it ends
you just feel like shit over and over again

no, it’ll never change pretty isn’t pretty enough everybody’s keeping it up
pretty isn’t pretty enough
