Olivia Rodrigo – pretty isn’t pretty Lyrics

Album on GUTS (Deluxe)

[Verse 1]
Bought a bunch of makeup
Tryna cover up my face
I started to skip lunch
Stopped eatin’ cake on birthdays
Bought a new prescription
To try and stay calm
‘Cause there’s always something missin’
There’s always something in the mirror that I think looks wrong

[Chorus]
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 anyways

[Verse 2]
You can win the battle
But you’ll never win the war
Fix thе things you hated
And you’d still feel so insecure

[Pre-Chorus]
And I try to ignorе it, but it’s everything I see
It’s on the posters 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 and I don’t know why I even try

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
No, it’ll never change
Pretty isn’t pretty enough
Everybody’s keepin’ it up
Pretty isn’t pretty enough
Pretty isn’t
