I see a picture perfect world Seems like I can't escape it Each turn the writing on the wall Tells me to face the music I can't compete although I try Too far below the surface Bright lights are never what they seem You've got to see in person I don't know what they see when they look at me I don't care but they all see it differently I don't know what they see when they look at me But I can hear them say Pose like the pictures in the magazine Yeah, beauty is pain but the pleasure's free Born to be loved like a Maybelline Look what the Photoshop made up Now shop the photo's make up We learn at such an early age Admire but don't be jealous I don't know what they see when they look at me I don't care but they all see it differently I don't know what they see when they look at me But I can hear them say Chorus x2 I saw a pretty girl by the side of the road Thumb up in the air and a winter coat I knew that she was carrying a heavy load I thought that I could get her where she wanted to go She looked so good with a dangerous style and I liked the way she talked with a magical smile She said, "I could be a star if the planets align" So I took her on a ride to deliver the shine I don't know what they see when they look at me I don't care but they all see it differently I don't know what they see when they look at me But I can hear them say Chorus x2
