[Verse 1]
I bought a bunch of makeup, tryna cover up my face
I started to skip lunch, eatin' cake on birthdays
I bought a new prescription to try and stay calm
Because 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
And 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]
And you can win the battle, but you'll never win the war
You fix the things you hated, and you'd still feel so insecure
And I try to ignore it, it's everything I see
It's on the poster on the wall, it's in the shitty magazines
It's in my phone, in my head, and all 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
And 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
Some dumb ideal my whole fuckin' 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)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah (Everybody's keepin' it up)
Yeah, oh-oh-oh (Pretty isn't pretty enough)
