Stand Still, Look Pretty

The Wreckers · Way Back Home - Live From New York City [2007]

Verse 1:

I wanna paint my face and pretend that I am someone else

Sometimes I get so fed up, I don't even wanna look at myself

But people have problems that are worse than mine

I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time

And I hate the way you look at me I have to say

I wish I could start over



Chorus:

I am slowly falling apart

I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start

And you might think it's easy being me

You just stand still look pretty



Verse 2:

Sometimes I find myself shaking in the middle of the night

And then it hits me and I can't even believe this is my life

But people have problems that are worse than mine

I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time

And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouth

I'm not strong enough to deal with it



[Chorus x2]
