[Verse 1]
Mama said, you´re a pretty girl
What´s in your head it doesn´t matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters
[Pre-Hook]
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I´m gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down
[Hook]
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever´s worse
Perfection is the disease of a nation
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever´s worse
Tryna fix something
But you can´t fix what you can´t see
It´s the soul that needs the surgery
[Verse 2]
Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says
Thinner is better
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Ain´t no doctor or therapeutic that can take the pain away
The pain´s inside
And nobody frees you from your body
It´s the soul that needs surgery
It´s my soul that needs surgery
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
And you break when the paper signs you in the dark
You left a shattered mirror
And the shards of a beautiful girl
[Hook]
[Outro]
When you´re alone all by yourself
And you´re lying in your bed
Reflection stares right into you
Are you happy with yourself?
It´s just a way to masquerade
The illusion has been shed
Are you happy with yourself?
Are you happy with yourself?
Yes
Mama said, you´re a pretty girl
What´s in your head it doesn´t matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters
[Pre-Hook]
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I´m gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down
[Hook]
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever´s worse
Perfection is the disease of a nation
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever´s worse
Tryna fix something
But you can´t fix what you can´t see
It´s the soul that needs the surgery
[Verse 2]
Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says

[Bridge]
Ain´t no doctor or therapeutic that can take the pain away

And nobody frees you from your body
It´s the soul that needs surgery
It´s my soul that needs surgery
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
And you break when the paper signs you in the dark
You left a shattered mirror
And the shards of a beautiful girl

Are you happy with yourself?
Yes
