Lyrics

Perfect Girls

[Verse 1]

Look in the broken mirror

I see the pieces of my face on the floor

What's it gonna take not to feel like this anymore?

Livin' for the outside but you're always lonely

Don't know who you are when the makeup's off... who are you?

Doesn't take much to lose yourself....

[Chorus]

Perfect girls ain't real...

They hide who they are inside

Perfect girls ain't real

They live a lie... but...

It's always on your mind

'Cause you're online all the time

Know that perfect girls ain't real

Gotta learn to love yourself

Gotta learn to love yourself

Inside and out

[Verse 2]

Playin' the perfect role

Cryin' deep inside, hoping nobody knows

Tryin' keep it together

House of cards don't fold

On every diet, I even starve myself

But he's still lookin' at everybody else

Guess it comes down to loving myself

[Chorus]

Perfect girls ain't real...

They hide who they are inside

Perfect girls ain't real

They live a lie... but...

It's always on your mind

'Cause you're online all the time

Know that perfect girls ain't real

Gotta learn to love yourself

Gotta learn to love yourself

Inside and out

[Verse 3]

Alone in the day time

Ragin thoughts going through your mind

Wishin' you had her life

Wishin' you was on the other side

You are beautiful inside

Don't you let 'em still your  pride'

You should learn to live your life

For yourself, no one else

[Chorus]

Perfect girls ain't real...

They hide who they are inside

Perfect girls ain't real

They live a lie... but...

It's always on your mind

'Cause you're online all the time

Know that perfect girls ain't real

Gotta learn to love yourself

Gotta learn to love yourself

Inside and out
