You're Only Pretty With Your Makeup On.

You're only pretty when
You're onstage and you
Can't be upstaged
By any creature, dead or alive
Breathing or six feet under.

You're only slightly gorgeous
When the world stops turning
And all eyes are on you
And no one else in the room.

You're only pretty with your makeup on
Your mental crutch
It's nothing more than a
Crush, a superficial reaction.
To pretty boys with eyeliner.

I couldn't be finer if I tried.

Egotistical morons who get sick
At the sight of someone else's
Own personal limelight
Well you can't revive a star
That has already died
Up in the sky

(Please don't let me die alone)

You're only kind of attractive
When your kisses are only drunken
Advances to be forgotten tomorrow
Smudged lipstick and running mascara
Like the tears she cries, they've turned black.

And you know that you can't back.

You're only pretty with your makeup on
Your mental crutch
It's nothing more than a
Crush, a superficial reaction.
To pretty boys with eyeliner.

In actuallity, I wish I could be finer if I tried.

You're only pretty when you're made up.
You're only pretty when you're onstage.
The light hits you in a special way.
That I can't explain.

You're only pretty with your makeup on
Your mental crutch
It's nothing more than a
Crush, a superficial reaction.
To pretty boys with eyeliner.

I'm not as fine as I lead on.
