Too thin, too smart Monday, don't fit in my jeans, stretch marks Dark circles under my eyes But no one wants to hear about that I'm sick of putting labels on myself Trying to fit in, trying to act like I'm somebody else I'm taking all this pressure off myself And I'm gon' say something for me, that's real It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly But those days, they remind me that I'm human So go ahead and rip, tear me apart 'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws If the scars on my skin make me ugly Then let's get ugly I know what they want Bright lights, highlighter, contour on Too scared to be vulnerable But when did we become afraid of that? I'm tired of all the pretty little lies Don't need a thousand likes To know that we're still beautiful inside It's time to have the time of our lives And say something real It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly But those days, they remind me that I'm human So go ahead and rip, tear me apart 'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws If the scars on my skin make me ugly Then let's get ugly I'm a recipe for disaster Or I could be the recipe for The happiest ever after, oh-oh I'm a recipe for disaster Or I could be the recipe for The happiest ever after, oh-oh It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly But those days, they remind me that I'm human So go ahead and rip, tear me apart 'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws If the scars on my skin make me ugly Then let's get ugly Ooh-ooh-ooh Let's get ugly Ooh-ooh-ooh Hmm-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ugly
