lyrics

Every morning she meets the girl in the mirror and paints her face
Covers up every flaw she wishes she could just erase
Out she goes to play the careful masquerade
All because the billboards scream it every day

If she was only a little bit brighter
A little bit more like the others
If only she wasn't the way she was made
And never made any mistakes
She wouldn't have to try so hard
Wouldn't have to try so hard

On the weekends she sees the girls in the windows with lifeless eyes
Frozen statues in style, beauty so perfectly designed
In she goes to find another new disguise
Try it on, belonging's always worth the price

If she was only a little bit brighter
A little bit more like the others
If only she wasn't the way she was made
And never made any mistakes
She wouldn't have to try so hard
Wouldn't have to try so hard

They tell her what to think
Tell her how to feel
Just keep her running
Spinning that wheel
Won't somebody tell her it's all a lie
It's all a lie

Now you can see she's a little bit brighter
A little bit more like the others
A girl who's no longer the way she was made
Who found just the right part to play
She shouldn't have to try so hard
Shouldn't have to try so hard

Every morning she meets the girl in the mirror and paints her face
