A little girl sees a
5' 10 cover girl on a billboard
With glass skin and hair
Dying to know if she woke up flawless
She can't help but stare
And compare herself to every inch of her
What she doesn't see is all the hours of work that it took
Waking up before the sun
To Put a face of makeup on
Cover every imperfection
As if she's not enough
Just the way she was
Now she cant recognize her reflection
I wanna hold that little girl real tight and tell her
Not to pretend that it's casual
We shouldn't have to try so hard be all natural
And now she 15 leaving for her first date
But cancels on the way
Couldn't zip up the dress from last summer
Scared he'll think she's overweight
She was born into the world with confidence
And over time she saw herself be stripped of it
Waking up before the sun
To Put a face of makeup on
Cover every imperfection
As if she's not enough
Just the way she was
Now she cant recognize her reflection
I wanna hold that little girl real tight and tell her
Not to pretend that it's casual
We shouldn't have to try so hard be all natural
If she was born into the world with confidence
It'd be a tragedy if she got stripped of it
