Standing in a line
I was feeling just fine
I was having a good day
I thought I was okay
The magazine stand
That was were it began
I started to wonder what
I have to offer
Could I ever measure up to this
Could I ever be good enough
This is a game
That I could never win (that I could never win)
I can see through those pages (ahhh)
It's all just lights and makeup (ahhh)
So I'll just be who I am
You never see any imperfections on
The cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over on
The cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
I just wanna live a life that's real
But that's not what I see
Staring back at me (staring back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine
On the cover of a magazine
Start to feel like I'm kind of a mess
I start to lose track of what really matters
All the pictures running through my head
Telling me I'm nothing
If I'm not like them
They say I'll never measure up to this
They say I'll never be good enough
I won't listen 'cause I know it isn't true (I know it isn't true, true)
I can see through those pages (ahhh)
It's all just lights and makeup (ahhh)
So I'll just be who I am
You never see any imperfections on
The cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over on
The cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
I just wanna live a life that's real
But that's not what I see
Staring back at me (staring back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine
'Cause at the end of the day
All those magazine's get thrown (away)
I wanna be more than paper thin
'Cause everything that matters
Is underneath my skin
On the cover of a magazine
You never see any imperfections on
The cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over on
The cover of a magazine (whow, cover of a magazine)
I just wanna live a life that's real
But that's not what I see
Staring back at me (staring back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine
You never see any imperfections on
The cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over on
The cover of a magazine (whow, cover of a magazine)
I just wanna live a life that's real
But that's not what I see
Staring back at me (staring back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine
