  • Beauty over wisdom to fit in with their style
    Your Cinderella story's for a price
    Vanity's a business built to fleece the unique
    Silicon and stars collide, the rest will fall in line

    Just as beautiful as you are
    It's so pitiful what you are
    You should have seen this coming all along

    Visually you're stimulating to my eyes
    Your Cinderella syndrome's full of lies
    Your insecurities are concealed by your pride
    Pretty soon your ego will kill what's left inside

    Just as beautiful as you are
    It's so pitiful what you are
    You should have seen this coming all along
    It's so pitiful what you are
    As beautiful as you are
    You should have seen this coming all along

    You're everything that's so typical
    Maybe you're alone for a reason, you're the reason

    So pitiful what you are
    Should have seen this coming all along

    Just as beautiful as you are
    It's so pitiful what you are
    You should have seen this coming all along
    It's so pitiful what you are
    As beautiful as you are
    Should have seen this coming all along Writer/s: Brian Vodinh, Jesse Hasek, Matt Wantland, Travis Wyrick

  • Felix from Kansas City, MoI always thought it was about Anna Nicole Smith.
  • Chris from Liverpool, NyI believe this song deals with society and how everyone wants to be someone else to fit in. How, people can have everything going for them and just throw it away to be someone their not.
  • Sirius from El Paso, TxThis song deals with people who resort to vanity and superficial beauty to feel more accepted, only to still find themselves lonely because their personalities contradict their glamorous outer shell.
