You do whatever it takes Try so hard to make a name Hope that once you catch a break It’s gonna be worth the pain ‘Cause you, you know what they say… If you can take this town, you can do anything If you just, stick it out It’ll never be stripped away Up close, I’m wishing (It looked the same as it did from a distance) But, something’s missing Pretty on the outside, I admit it's just Pretty on the outside, isn’t it? But, does it wear off the more you see That it’s empty underneath? Though it seems Pretty on the outside Don’t you think it’d be sweet If you could fill it up with all those fancy things? They won’t know that you’re faking supposedly So baby, keep putting up all those smoke screens Say these things, and be interesting Dress the part, you’ll win ‘em over eventually Up close, I’m wishing (We looked the same as we did from a distance) But, something’s missing Pretty on the outside, I admit it's just Pretty on the outside, isn’t it? But, does it wear off the more you see That it’s empty underneath? Though it seems Pretty on the outside Is that how it’s gonna leave me? Is that how it’s gonna leave me? I don’t want it if that’s how it’s gonna leave me Here we are chasing a dream 'Til we fall apart at the seams Is 'making it' the breaking of me? Pretty on the outside, I admit it's just Pretty on the outside, isn’t it? How far will I wear down before I see? It’s taking every single bit of me Though it seems Pretty on the outside
