Anti-Hero - Unpretty

People ask why I wear my makeup so dark?
Maybe I'm trying to cover up each and every little scar
or maybe I just don't want the world to see
see me, feel so, uncomfortable
completely naked, baring my real self, for everyone to see

Cause I feel so damn unpretty
I'll never be the girl posing in your fashion magazines
My skin's broken out, I'm only a size three
I feel so damn unpretty

I'll never be perfect for them or for me
Flat as they come, no curves to be found anywhere on me
Why are people staring in my direction?
Must be something in my hair, on my face, or in my teeth

Cause I feel so damn unpretty
I'll never be the girl posing in your fashion magazines
My skin's broken out, I'm only a size three
I feel so damn unpretty

You know they used to point in magazines
to those perfect little prom queens
telling me I should look that way, dress that way, be like them
I'll never be that kind of girl
And there are plenty of others like me, going to each and every extreme
just to be as flawless as those celebrities you see on the t.v.
Well, I've been down that road before and it only leads to pain
So I'd rather feel unpretty and not live in vain

Cause I feel so damn unpretty
I'll never be the girl posing in your fascist magazines
My skin's broken out, I'm only a size three
I feel so damn unpretty
