lyrics

Keep a perfect house, make a perfect life,
Be a perfect girl, be a perfect wife.
Hold it in don't let them see you cry.
Whiten up your smile, straighten out your hair,
cover up the scars, so you don't see them there.
With every breath you die inside.
The price you pay for beauty is too high a price to pay,
if piece by piece you give yourself away.

You don't have to do it all, you don't have to hide away,
You don't have to please the world, do what people say.
Only have to change one thing to change the world:
Change the way you see yourself.

Change the way you walk, try and lose some weight
Change the way you talk, try to assimilate
But still you feel that shame inside.
The price you pay to fit in always takes too high a toll
If piece by piece it strips away your soul.

You don't have to do it all, you don't have to hide away,
You don't have to please the world, do what people say.
You don't have to change one thing to change the world
You're already Supergirl.
You don't have to hide your heart, you don't have to hold it in
You don't have to put it out, you don't have to keep your chin up
and pay the price, and I know it's tough
But you are enough.

You don't have to prove yourself. Always be true to yourself.
You are enough just the way you are.
