Stand Still and Look Pretty
The Wreckers

I wanna paint my face and pretend that I am someone else
Sometimes I get so fed up I don't even wanna 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 and 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 when it hits me I can't even believe this is my life

But people have problems that are worse than mine
And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths
I'm not strong enough to deal with you

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

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
