Looking at broken mirror I see the pieces of my face on the floor What's it gonna take not to feel like this anymore? (anymore?) Living for the outside but you're always lonely Don't know who you are I can make 'em soft or wild Doesn't take much to lose yourself (keep sayin')
Perfect girls ain't real They hide who they are inside Now, perfect girls ain't real They live a lie But it's always on your mind 'Cause you're all lying all the time Know that perfect girls ain't real
Gotta learn to love yourself Gotta learn to love yourself Inside and out
Playing a perfect role Crying deep inside, hoping nobody knows Tryna keep it together House of cards, don't fall (no, the cards don't fall) Only the dieter, you can starve yourself But you're still looking at everybody else Guess it comes down to loving myself (myself)
Perfect girls ain't real They hide who they are inside Now, perfect girls ain't real They live a lie But it's always on your mind 'Cause you're all lying all the time Know that perfect girls ain't real
Gotta learn to love yourself Gotta learn to love yourself Inside and out
Alone in the daytime Raging thoughts going through your mind Wishing you had her life Wishing you was on the other side But you are beautiful inside Don't you let 'em steal your pride You should learn to live your life for yourself No one else, yeah
Perfect girls ain't real They hide who they are inside Now, perfect girls ain't real They live a lie But it's always on your mind 'Cause you're all lying all the time Know that perfect girls ain't real
Gotta learn to love yourself (gotta learn to love, learn to love, learn to love) Gotta learn to love yourself Inside and out (inside and out, inside and out)
