Lyrics
[verse]
Look at her shine on every magazine
Perfect little smile, perfect little scene
Nobody asks what's hiding underneath
The mask she wears, the story she'll repeat
[verse]
She's a masterpiece of somebody's design
Painted up in colors that were never really hers
Everybody's buying what she's selling all the time
But nobody remembers who she was before
[chorus]
She's everybody's darling, everybody's dream
Nobody's questioning the painted-on gleam
She's everybody's fool, and I used to be one too
Believing in a girl who never once was true
[verse]
I used to want to be her, want to wear her crown
Til I saw the seams beneath the silky gown
Now I see the puppet strings that make her move
And I don't need her anymore to prove
[chorus]
She's everybody's darling, everybody's dream
Nobody's questioning the painted-on gleam
She's everybody's fool, and I used to be one too
Believing in a girl who never once was true
[bridge]
Take away the makeup, take away the light
Show me who you really are behind closed eyes tonight
Maybe then we'd finally see the truth
Instead of every fool chasing after you
[chorus]
She's everybody's darling, everybody's dream
Nobody's questioning the painted-on gleam
She's everybody's fool, and I used to be one too
Believing in a girl who never once was true
