Pretty Lies

Painted on porcelain
Rose petal lips
Could this be perfection?
This mirror likes to fib
How about now?
Am I good enough?
How about now?
Will I ever be enough?
If I change, would I find love?

I’m calling out these
Pretty pretty lies
Pretty pretty lies
Pretty pretty lies
We were meant to be perfectly imperfect
Such a beautiful mess
I’m calling out these
Pretty pretty lies
Pretty pretty lies
Pretty pretty lies

Suit and tie
Success in dollar signs
Buying our time
When what we all want is an extraordinary life
How about now?
Am I good enough?
How about now?
Will I ever be enough?
If I change, would I find love?

Ink stained green paper
Fast cars, soul chasers
Pretty pretty lies
Pretty pretty lies
Make-up, smoke eyes
Won't hide cries behind
Pretty pretty lies
Pretty pretty lies
