[Verse 1]
Scrollin' on my phone again
Double-tappin' Instagram
I don't really like how I feel
Watchin' someone else's life
Then I go comparin' mine
To a glossy highlight reel
And it's always sunny weather
They're so well put-together
Seems like everybody's livin' the dream
And I'm still in last night's makeup
The kids are wakin' me up
I've got Cheerios stuck to my feet
[Chorus]
So what? I'm not picture-perfect
It's messy, but it's workin' just the way it is
So what? It's the scars that make us
There's beauty in the chaos of how we really live
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
Or a model wife
But I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life
[Verse 2]
Like Alice down the rabbit hole
Chasin' what's uncatchable
Temptations each way that I turn
I used to feel ten feet tall
Now I'm shrinkin' oh-so-small
When the hell am I gonna learn?
[Chorus]
So what? I'm not picture-perfect
It's messy, but it's workin' just the way it is
So what? It's the scars that make us
There's beauty in the chaos of how we really live
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
Or a model wife
But I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life
[Bridge]
There's a million ways to frame it
But I would never change it
Even if I haven't figured it out
My inner critic starts to creep up
I'm just tryin' to keep up
All I wanna do is shout
[Chorus]
So what? I'm not picture-perfect
It's messy, but it's workin' just the way it is
So what? It's the scars that make us
There's beauty in the chaos of how we really live
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
Or a model wife
But I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life
[Outro]
I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life
I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life
