Pretty Hurts
Beyoncé Lyrics


Ms. Third Ward, your first question:
What is your aspiration in life?
Oh, well my aspiration in life would be
To be happy

Mama said, you're a pretty girl
What's in your head it doesn't matter
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
What you wear is all that matters

Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down

Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst
You tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs a surgery

Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says
Thinner is better

Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down, down

Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts (pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts (pretty hurts)
We shine the light on whatever's worst
We try to fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery

Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
(It's my soul that needs surgery)
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
Then you break when the fake façade leaves you in the dark
You left with shattered mirrors and the shards of a beautiful girl

Pretty hurts
We shine the light on whatever's worst (pretty hurts)
Perfection is a disease of a nation (pretty hurts)
Pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts (pretty hurts)
We shine the light on whatever's worst
We tryna fix something, but you can't fix what you can't see (pretty hurts)
It's the soul that needs a surgery

When you're alone all by yourself (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
And you're lying in your bed (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Reflection stares right into you (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
You stripped away the masquerade (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
The illusion has been shed (pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)
Are you happy with yourself? (Pretty hurts, pretty hurts)

Yeah, yes (ah, ah, ah)

I didn't know it was titled that 📀.
All i know and recall is, when that album came out, i was feeling exactly 💯 that pain and for the exact reasons she sings...
I remember thinking to myself, how odd, someone gets me in my deep pain, i never understood she was literally singing my life.
I was miserable inside crying ... I was harassed... I thought it i was physically ugly, my pain would disappear...
Men would hit on me, i couldn't find anything real...
I didn't want to be possessed nor someone's property...
Nor subjugated, so that pain 😭 was very real...
Its too late to try to undo all that wrong in society...
All they can do now is in hindsight try to understand all the wrongdoing they have done.
Women 👠👠 are not "objects" to be possessed as material things ...
And neither are they there for men's sexual gratifications either they don't realize the deep psychological impact they have on these girls.... They cry 😭 inside they scream, imagine being born "desirable" and all you get is possession and harassment ... How do you escape that?
They're low lives functioning in society there's a serious problem in these Men ...
What did the Georgia stones say?
"Control Your passions"? ❤️
I don't understand what passions this could mean?
Then next to it said respect the INFINITE? ♾️
Oh I don't understand what that could mean either.
I like a better song 🎵🎶 one where they sing...
And the world 🌎 suddenly ended 😭 and the survivors were better people. Thanks God 🙏 praise the Lord.

Quiero contar una historia del porque amo esta canción.
Hace aproximadamente un año conocí a una chica, muy hermosa y con un físico increíble que llamaba la atención de mucha gente. Yo soy un chico con baja autoestima y nunca me paso por la mente que yo le gustaría obviamente porque ella para mi era demasiado.
Bueno ella me habló a mi (fue lindo) y ahí inicio una historia de amor.
Eso es solo el comienzo y no tiene nada que ver con la canción, eso es al final de la historia; yo había estado solo por 5 años, sin relaciones de pareja y solo algunas relaciones de amigos porque la mayoría del tiempo estoy solo, ella me trato como yo siempre hubiese querido que me trataran, me enamore profundamente de ella, mi baja autoestima me hizo ser dependiente de ella, la ame mucho, entregue todo de mi y me sentía la persona más feliz del mundo.
Tristemente mi baja seguridad me hizo ser celoso y tóxico, algo que nunca quería llegar a ser, desconfié de ella, la hice sentir mal y decidí trabajar en mi, fui a terapia a sesiones con una psicóloga que me ayudo mucho.
Hice un cambio en mi por ella, no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho porque gracias a ella soy como soy ahora.
En fin a ella le encanta esta canción, nunca me contó porque pero yo creí que fue porque alguna vez en su vida sufrió mucho (la gente decía que no era una chica linda solo tenía un cuerpo definido, para mi era la chica más hermosa!), ella tenía una autoestima muy alta, demasiada seguridad y un amor propio que muchos quisiéramos tener. La relación la termine yo porque mis problemas mentales estaban ocasionando problemas, para no hacerle más daño a ella y por el amor que le tenia decidí pedirle un tiempo lo cual ella lo interpreto como un “no te quiero volver a ver en mi vida”, perdí todo contacto con ella, yo solo quería un tiempo para sanarme, trabajar en mi mismo y darle una estabilidad a la relación, no fue así y ella se fue de mi lado.
Aveces he estado triste porque la extraño y algunas veces recuerdo lo que me decía, subía mi autoestima y me apoyaba mucho, me dejo varias experiencias buenas que me ayudaron a ser mejor, por ejemplo me dejo esta maravillosa canción que me hace recordarla (a ella) y a ser mejor cada día, sentirme bien conmigo mismo y amarme mucho.
Lo diré muchas veces, donde quiera que estes Melissa gracias por la hermosa relación, gracias por tu apoyo, quedan lindos recuerdos, cumple tus sueños, tus objetivos y nunca dejes de ser la chica feliz que conocí “tu sonrisa es lo mejor”.



SelflesslyInfinitePurple

This song hits so hard
In world where perfection is obsession that accepting the real you and accepting perfection along with imperfection becomes hard
Because we live in a judgemental society where before being human your judged for you appearances and what we wear and whatever you do , good or bad
People will always have something negative to say .


Still even after so many storms
Hold on and love the real you
Self love is the best 🥺😊💜♾️

6 years later and nothing has changed. Perfection remains a disease of the nation.

Where do you live? Lol
Apart from certain narrow Los Angeles-bubbles, the „world“ certainly doesn‘t chase perfection. Try going out more and don‘t mistake the internet for real life.
