pretty isn’t pretty (Live From Glastonbury (A BBC Recording))

[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)
