Olivia Rodrigo - pretty isn't pretty lyrics

[Olivia Rodrigo - pretty isn't pretty lyrics]

Bought a bunch of makeup
Tryna cover up my face
I started to skip lunch
Stopped eatin' cake on birthdays
I bought a new prescription
To try and stay calm
'Cause there's always somethin' missin'
There's always somethin' 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 anyway

You can win the battle
But you'll never win the war
You fix thе things you hated
And you'd still feel so insecure
And I try to ignorе it
But it's everythin' I see
It's on the poster 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
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, oh
Pretty isn't pretty enough
Pretty isn't
