This just in hot off the press,
I look so pretty in my dress,
My makeup expertly applied,
But Iâm ugly inside,
This is news it made front page,
How lovely is the girl on stage,
I take the compliments in stride,
But Iâm ugly inside
I paint my nails, I paint my face,
I take the stage and present my case,
As they growl and hiss and criticize,
I know exactly what theyâve said,
I hear their thoughts inside my head,
Set me ablaze with angry eyes,
Because Iâm ugly inside
I taught myself not to feel,
To use my vices to heal,
All the pain deep inside,
To make the voices subside,
The screams of envy and greed,
The call of hunger and need,
I drown them out one more time,
And tell the world Iâll be fine
I paint my nails, I paint my face,
I take the stage and present my case,
As they growl and hiss and criticize,
I know exactly what theyâve said,
I hear their thoughts inside my head,
Set me ablaze with angry eyes,
Because Iâm ugly inside
Donât draw me in and hypnotize,
Donât compliment and patronize,
Donât waste your empty flattery,
Donât act like it should matter to me,
Donât flaunt yourself and bat your eyes,
Donât spin your tails and spew your lies,
Donât tell me I look good tonight,
âCause Iâm ugly inside
If they only knew,
The demons within,
Theyâd see I wear a grimace,
Where they interpreted a grin,
If they only knew,
The demons I face,
Theyâd understand these walls,
That are keeping me safe
I paint my nails, I paint my face,
I take the stage and present my case,
As you growl and hiss and criticize,
I know exactly what youâve said,
I hear your thoughts inside my head,
Set me ablaze with angry eyes,
Because Iâm ugly inside
