Beauty Hurts

Always the second choice
Always the fallback plan
Always the underdog
And you know what I can't stand is

How it works and how I learn cause
In my head I'm second best
I'm the sidekick in my own book
Cause I saw that longing look

It's where your eyes go I'm in her shadow
And I hate you for being shallow
But I bought it too
A proper head screw

Cause beauty hurts but ugly's worse
A pretty corpse for you to burn
I'll die trying if I have to fearful if I asked you
That I might get what I deserve

The more I shrink
The more you see me
And all the cannibals
They like me better hungry

And when you want me at my worst
You cheer me on to crash and burn
It's what I teach you it's what I've learned
Now I'll get what I deserve

Cause beauty hurts but ugly's worse
A pretty corpse for you to burn
And I'll die trying if I have to fearful if I asked you
That I might get what I deserve

Dizzy across the finish line
Admired as an anchorite
Ascended but dehumanised
You like me best cut down to size

You want only what you can see
Then buy and sell it back to me
Drawn into your toxicity
I'm spineless becoming mindless

Do you even care it's killing me?
You don't even care it's just skin deep
I don't even care it's killing me
We've come to worship the disease

Do you even care it's killing me?
You don't even care it's just skin deep
I don't even care it's killing me
We've come to worship the disease

Cause beauty hurts but ugly's worse
A pretty corpse for you to burn
And I'll die trying if I have to fearful if I asked you
That I might get what I deserve
