[Verse 1]
Too thin, too smart
Monday, don't fit in my jeans, stretch marks
Dark circles under my eyes
But no one wants to hear about that
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of putting labels on myself
Trying to fit in, trying to act like I'm somebody else
I'm taking all this pressure off myself
And I'm gon' say something for me, that's real
[Chorus]
It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely
Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing
One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly
But those days, they remind me that I'm human
So go ahead and rip, tear me apart
'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws
If the scars on my skin make me ugly
Then let's get ugly
[Verse 2]
I know what they want
Bright lights, highlighter, contour on
Too scared to be vulnerable
But when did we become afraid of that?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of all the pretty little lies
Don't need a thousand likes
To know that we're still beautiful inside
It's time to have the time of our lives
And say something real
[Chorus]
It's okay to be lost, to feel lonely
Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing
One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly
But those days, they remind me that I'm human
So go ahead and rip, tear me apart
'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws
If the scars on my skin make me ugly
Then let's get ugly
[Bridge]
I'm a recipe for disaster
Or I could be the recipe for
The happiest ever after, oh-oh
I'm a recipe for disaster
Or I could be the recipe for
The happiest ever after, oh-oh
[Chorus]
It's okay to be lost, tofeel lonely
Sometimes I just don't know what I'm doing
One day I'm beautiful, then I'm ugly
But those days, they remind me that I'm human
So go ahead and rip, tear me apart
'Cause I'm not afraid of my flaws
If the scars on my skin make me ugly
Then let's get ugly
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Let's get ugly
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Hmm-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ugly

There’s a song on the album called “Ugly” which is kind of me talking about shaking the stigma of everything that I think we feel like we’re supposed to be or we’re supposed to say. We’re meant to be these perfect human beings all the time, we’re just not. And that’s okay and that’s actually what ma...
It’s about a huge turning point in my life, so I had to include it on the album. I was photographed in a bikini on the beach [by a paparazzo], and it got printed in the papers. At the time, I felt so ashamed of myself for the way I looked. But I never signed up to be a model or this perfect person....
