pretty isn’t pretty Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face
I started to skip lunch, stopped eatin’ cake on birthdays
I bought a new prescription to try and stay calm
‘Cause there’s always somethin’ missin’
There’s always somethin’ in the mirror that I think looks wrong
[Chorus]
When pretty isn’t pretty enough, what do you do?
And everybody’s keepin’ 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
‘Cause pretty isn’t pretty enough anyway
[Verse 2]
You can win the battle, but you’ll never win the war
You fix thе things you hated, and you’d still feel so insecure
And I try to ignorе it, but it’s everythin’ I see
It’s on the poster 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
[Chorus]
When pretty isn’t pretty enough, what do you do?
And everybody’s keepin’ 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
‘Cause pretty isn’t pretty enough
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
No, it’ll never change
Pretty isn’t pretty enough, mmm
Everybody’s keepin’ it up, oh
Pretty isn’t pretty enough
Pretty isn’t
