[VerAnnotatese 1]
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
 What's in your head it doesn't matter
 [bad word] 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]
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

[Bridge]
Ain’t no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
 The pain's inside
 And nobody frees you from your body
It's the soul that needs surgery (x2)
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]
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

 [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? (x2)
 Yes
