Bought a bunch of makeup

Tryna' cover up my face

I started to skip lunch

Stopped eatin' cake on birthdays

Bought a new prescription

To try and stay calm

'cause there's always something missin'

There's always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong.

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 anyways.

You can win the battle

But you'll never win the war

Fix the things you hated

And you'd still feel so insecure.

And I try to ignore it, but it's everything I see

It's on the posters 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 and I don't know why I even try.

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.

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.

No, it'll never change

Pretty isn't pretty enough

Everybody's keepin' it up

Pretty isn't pretty enough

Pretty isn't...
