[Verse 1]

Pretty little things all lined up on the window

When did my reflection make me so insecure?

You got me looking at myself in a new light

Hating what I see in the side by sides

No matter what I do, can't get it right


[Chorus]

I count the flaws, I count 'em one, two, three, one, two, three

Caught in the layers of the big machine, changing me

And if I apologise, I will be lost inside you

I count the flaws, I count 'em one, two, three, one, two, three


[Verse 2]

Cannot hold a smile longer than three, two, one

And everyone I know seems sad until the camera's on

When did we all start to fantasise, oh, about being recognised

I feel the weight of it all the time


[Chorus]

I count the flaws, I count 'em one, two, three, one, two, three

Caught in the layers of the big machine, changing me

And if I apologise, I will be lost inside you

I count the flaws, I count 'em one, two, three, one, two, three


[Verse 3]

You put her in a pink bow so that everybody knows

She's daddy's little princess and she'll stay forever so

She'll constantly compare herself to other girls

Nobody can see what it does to her

Nobody can feel it but that shit hurts

That shit hurts, it hurts


[Chorus]

I count the flaws, I count 'em one, two, three, one, two, three

Caught in the layers of the big machine, changing me

And if I apologise, I will be lost inside you

I count the flaws, I count 'em one, two, three, one, two, three
