Beyoncé – Pretty Hurts

Pretty Hurts lyrics

Pretty hurts

We shine a light on whatever’s worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation

Pretty hurts

We shine a light on whatever’s worst

Tryna fix something that you can’t fix

What you can’t see

It’s the soul that needs a surgery

Uh

Uh

Mama said

’You’re a pretty girl

What’s in your head

It doesn’t matter

Brush your hair

Fix your teeth

What you wear

Is all that matters’

Just another stage

Pageant the pain away

This time I’m gonna take the crown

Without falling down, down, down

Pretty hurts

We shine the light on whatever’s worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation

Pretty hurts, pretty hurts

Pretty hurts

We shine the light of whatever’s worst

We try to fix something but you can’t fix

What you can’t see

It’s the soul that needs a surgery

Uh

Blonder hair

Flat chest

TV says

’Bigger is better’

South beach

Sugar free

Vogue says

’Thinner is better’

Just another stage

Pageant the pain away

This time I’m gonna take the crown

Without falling down, down, down

Pretty hurts

We shine the light on whatever’s worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation

Pretty hurts, pretty hurts

Pretty hurts

We shine the light of whatever’s worst

We try to fix something but you can’t fix

What you can’t see

It’s the soul that needs a surgery

Ain’t got no doctor or pill

That can take the pain away

The pain’s inside and nobody frees you

From your body

It’s the soul, it’s the soul that need surgery

It’s my soul that needs surgery

Plastic smiles and denial

Can only take you so far

Then you break when the fake facade

Leaves you in the dark

You left with shattered mirrors

And the shards

Of a beautiful past

Oh

Pretty hurts

Pretty hurts

Pretty hurts

Oh

Oh, oh

Pretty hurts

When you’re alone all by yourself

And you’re lying in your bed

Reflections stares right into you

Are you happy with yourself?

You stripped away the masquerade

The illusion has been shed

Are you happy with yourself?

Are you happy with yourself?

Yes

Uh.
