Stand Still, Look Pretty...

Bought The Wreckers, "Stand Still, Look Pretty". I relate to the title track so I thought I'd post it for you. Overall, good album Can't wait to see them live this summer.

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

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

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.
