Skin Deep

Fake Beauty

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Do you wish you were thinner?

Skipping dinner?

Going under the knife

Just to feel better when you wear your favourite sweater

Pretty little girls

With dark ideas of what it's like to be pretty

We don't want pity

We just want to live like the girls in the big city

Now she's broken

She can't shape her face anymore

She hates herself more than she did before

Little girls

With big hearts

Going under the knife

Just to be torn apart.
