Why
Am I not allowed to be happy
Living my life, listening to Kesha?
Why
Am I a senseless cruel joke
And the center of your laughter?
Why
Does everyone come after
The kid who's always been considered weak?
Am I
Just something that your jokes
Center around when they're not funny at all?
You're all pathetic excuses of future business partners
And I can't wait to celebrate you in the dirt
I have given my all to be here
Why the hell does that matter?
I'm just a Hollywood actress
Pretending that it's all alright
I have given them my all
Showed them every side of me
I'm just that Hollywood actress
Pretending the jokes don't hurt me
I
Didn't wash my hair for a week
But nobody had said anything
I
Lose myself in the daydream of running free
Tits out, letting everybody see my body
Did I
Ask to be ridiculed by senseless kids
Who have nothing better to do in their life?
Why
The hell am I here to deal with this drama
When I have already heard all of it
You're all lazy excuses for future world changers
And I can't wait to celebrate you in the dirt
I have given my all to be here
But are my emotions getting a little real
I'm just a Hollywood actress
Pretending that I'm doing alright
I have given them my all
So why should I change who I am
I'm just that Hollywood actress
Pretending the jabs don't hurt me
And I went through it all but they don't care
Frustrated but I hide it behind a fabricated smile
They should be scared of what I'm hiding
Because if we let the monster out it will kill their egos
But fuel their TikToks so why the hell am I fighting?
I have given my all to be here
SO WHY THE HELL DOES IT MATTER?!
I have given it my all
And I got nothing in return
I'm just their Hollywood actress
I pretend that it's all in good fun
I have given it my all
Given every broken bone a mending
Taping my body like a Hollywood actress
Pretending that I'm going to be alright
But what if it's not alright?
