Stand Still, Look Pretty - The Wreckers

I want to paint my face

And pretend that I am someone else

Sometimes I get so fed up I don’t even want to look at myself

But people have problems that are worse than mine

I don’t want you to think I’m complaining all the time

And I hate the way you look at me I have to say

I wish I could start over

I am slowly falling apart

I wish you’d take a walk in my shoes for a start

You might think it’s easy being me You just stand still, look pretty

Sometimes I find myself shaking

In the middle of the night

And then it hits me and I can’t

Even believe this is my life

But people have problems that are worse than mine

I don’t want you to think I’m complaining all the time

And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths

I’m not strong enough to deal with it
