Cover Of A Magazine Songtext

On the cover of a magazine

Standin′ in line, I was feelin' just fine
Thought I was havin′ a good day, I thought I was okay
The magazine stand, that was where it began
I started to wonder what I have to offer
Could I ever measure up to this?
Could I ever be good enough?
This is a game that I could never win
(That I could never win)

I can see through those pages (ah)
It's all just lights and makeup
So I'll just be who I am (ah)


You never see any imperfections
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
I just wanna live a life that′s real
But that′s not what I see
Starin' back at me (starin′ back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine
On the cover of a magazine

Start to feel like I'm kind of a mess
I start to lose track of what really matters
All the pictures runnin′ through my head
Tell me I'm nothin′ if I'm not like them
They say I'll never measure up to this
They say I′ll never be good enough
I won′t listen 'cause I know it isn′t true
(I know it isn't true, true)

I can see through those pages (ah)
It′s all just lights and makeup
So I'll just be who I am (ah)

You never see any imperfections
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
I just wanna live a life that′s real
But that's not what I see
Starin' back at me (starin′ back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine


′Cause at the end of the day
All those magazines get thrown away
I wanna be more than paper thin
'Cause everything that matters is underneath my skin
On the cover of a magazine

You never see any imperfections
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine, oh, whoa)
I just wanna live a life that′s real
But that's not what I see
Starin′ back at me (starin' back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine

You never see any imperfections
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine)
All the scars are painted over
On the cover of a magazine (cover of a magazine, oh, whoa)
I just wanna live a life that′s real
But that's not what I see
Starin' back at me (starin′ back at me)
On the cover of, the cover of a magazine
On the cover of a magazine
