"Stand Still, Look Pretty" lyrics

"Stand Still, Look Pretty"

I wanna paint my face and pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up I don't even wanna look at myself

But people with problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I hate the way you look at me, I have to say
I wish that I could start over

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
And you might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty

Sometimes I find myself shaking
In the middle of the night
And then it hits me and I can't even believe this is my life

But people with problems that are worse than mine
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time
And I wish that everyone would just go and shut their mouths
I'm not strong enough to deal with it

I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty
I am slowly falling apart
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start
You might think it's easy being me
You just stand still, look pretty
