Devil's Work

The prom queen looks real pretty But inside she hates her life And the boy that starts on Varsity's dad Doesn't treat him right The quiet girl that's in the corner Has so much more to say If only their minds weren't so damn opaque She's the life of every party But she sits alone at lunch Her reflection shows her ribcage But she thinks she weights too much And they call each other best friends When it's a forbidden crush One that their parents would never approve of Isn't it sad the way it works That we think we're the only ones who hurt? So just breathe for a second I know you're feeling so damn helpless But before you do something reckless Remember magazines have editors And makeup does the devil's work Don't cry 'cause you're not her She's staying up all night, scars to cover And everything seems fine when it's not yours But darling, magazines have editors And everyone's a little hurt They don't like you back 'cause you won't play their game But the one you really want doesn't even know your name And they swear the sky's the limit when you've got dreams to chase But you're barely making it through the day Isn't it so sad the way it works That we think we're the only ones who hurt? So just breathe for a second I know you're feeling so damn helpless But before you do something reckless Remember magazines have editors And makeup does the devil's work Don't cry 'cause you're not her She's staying up all night, scars to cover And everything seems fine when it's not yours But darling, magazines have editors And everyone's a little hurt Everyone's a little hurt So just breathe for a second I know you're feeling so damn helpless Don't do something reckless Remember magazines have editors And makeup does the devil's work Don't cry 'cause you're not her She's staying up all night, scars to cover And everything seems fine when it's not yours But darling, magazines have editors And everyone's a little hurt
