Pretty on the Outside

[Verse] Got my best dress on, hair curled just right Lipstick hiding how I really feel tonight My heels, my makeup, it’s all a scam ‘Cause nobody sees who I really am [Verse] Perfect in the mirror but I don’t feel right Smile in the pictures, cry late at night No one sees the cracks, the damage inside They just love the girl who always shines [Chorus] I go out, I smile, I fake it so well Holding it together in this personal hell What you see is what I choose not to hide I’m only pretty on the outside [Verse] Another long night, another fake laugh Another “I’m fine” when somebody asks I keep the mask on, play my role But deep down I’m barely in control [Verse ] Lights go down, I’m finally alone Wash off the makeup, put down my phone This is who I really am, this is me Not that stranger with a fake identity [Chorus] I go out, I smile, I fake it so well Holding it together in this personal hell What you see is what I choose not to hide I’m only pretty on the outside [Bridge] How long should I hide behind these made up lies How long should I keep on this flawless disguise If I let it all out, would they run, would they stay? Or just turn their backs like they do anyway? [Chorus] I go out, I smile, I fake it so well Holding it together in this personal hell What you see is what I choose not to hide I’m only pretty on the outside [Outro] No one will care about all the tears I cried As long as I look pretty on the outside
