Not so pretty

People say shes beautiful
people says she just right
people say shes perfect
but to her it's just a lie

So what if the jeans don't fit
or your hairs a mess
makeup doesn't matter
but in mind it's none of this

She'll hide all thats wrong
and try and look so right
but none of this works forever
shes tired of being a fake,a lie

She'll cry all thought the night
but no one ever hears her call
when she reaches out
shes just pushed and meat to fall

Black faced from the tears
shes not so pretty now
tell her shes beautiful
with makeup pouring down

Can't you see in her eyes
it's not all rainbows and smiles
if you look deep enough
you'll see how her heart squeals

Trying to be strong
it doesn't work when your weak
you can pretend only for so long
and then you break and buckle at the feet
