Dress to Impress
I'm not pretty, I fool myself
with the makeup I put on
The editing of photos
Tricking them one by one
Remembering when I loved the world
And didn't fear this mess
When I'd smile because I'm happy
And not for appearances
Buying the clothes
That flatter me somehow
The curves the bones
Whatever they're obsessed with now
Shaving the legs
Plucking the brow
Painting the face
Just for the wow
Wow... What's the point
Do people really care
Deep down there's nothing
But perfectly straightened hair
And a heart that isn't there..
But beauty on the outside
Is all they really see
When your rotting inside
From swimming in jealousy
Bravo to the world
It took its toll on me
When all I used to love
Is who I thought I'd be
