Makes You Pretty

It starts when you're 13 Lookin' at a magazine Flawless faces Then you're touchin' up your photos Spendin too much on your clothes Endless chasin' You think it's your hair If it's done just right Or if you lose five pounds By Friday night But it's the lines on your face When you're laughin' away That you can't back up at the end of the day It's the tears that you cry It's the strength that you find On the bathroom floor In the middle of the night Sometimes it ain't pretty But that's what makes you pretty, girl When you're sending up a prayer No one's carin' what you wear Your hearts wide open While callin' up an old friend Askin' wonderin' how they've been You start glowin' No mascara Lights up your eyes No gloss on your lips Can make you shine Like the lines on your face When you're laughin' away That you can't back up at the end of the day It's the tears that you cry It's the strength that you find On the bathroom floor in the middle of the night Sometimes it ain't pretty But that's what makes you pretty Girl Oh Pretty girl Oh oh It's the praise and the critics The walls that you hit When you're runnin' full speed to a dream don't quit The lines on your face When you're laughin' away That you can't back up at the end of the day It's the tears that you cry It's the strength that you find On the bathroom floor in the middle of the night Sometimes it ain't pretty But that's what makes you pretty, girl
