Be Pretty

Will I ever sleep like a baby again?
No care in the world
Just me and my messy hair

Will it ever be like the movies?
Pretty as the sun
With the perfect happy days

There's always background music anyway
Liner and lipstick to fix this face
Like it ever works out the night after
Will I ever be pretty?

Will I ever have someone to hold me in the dark?
Away from screens
Like the handless beauty marks

Will I ever leave this stupid hope?
No one wants to know 
The inside heart

There could be background music
But my desperation reeks off the ground
Like it never works the night after
But even then, will I ever be pretty?

It's a rule to be happy
It's the way to get your life right
It's the only thing that matters to anyone else
Will I ever be pretty?
