Stand Still, Look Pretty

Stand Still, Look Pretty
By 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

I'm 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.

Enlightened

What you think of me- I cannot change.
What you say about me- I cannot stop.
What you do to me- I cannot fight.

What I think- I can choose.
What I say- I can choose.
What I do- I can choose.

The wise do-- and don't regret it.

It's what's going on in your head that's important-- not what's going on in theirs.

Knock Knock, I'm here...

I want you to listen to me.

I want you to act like you care.

I'm tired of feeling like I'm always in the background.

I have a lot to say and share.

Can you just listen?

I want to be heard!

Without it turning into anything.

Just care.
