  • This song is so beautiful. The lyrics are so powerful and it never fails to make me cry..

    "You might think it's easy being me, you just stand still and look pretty.."

  • Everyone who says hey can relate to this are either hot, or they think they are.

  • @KaiIsLegend okay, you have no idea what the message of this song is. They're saying that everyone thinks all they have to do is look pretty, people aren't looking past their looks and don't realize what a burden they have to take on in reality.

  • I'm crying right now.This song explains exactly how I feel

  • If I could just hold the tears in a bit longer... I know what happens next...

  • I am 42 and am still amazed at the same strings that run through woman's lives. The Wreckers are my new favorite band. It's all I can do to listen to your songs and not fall apart.

  • everytime I hear this song, really sums up how I feel and ppl perception of me. everything thinks cause I have a nice house and pretty face that nothing is wrong with me and it hurts alot cause I am so broken and messed up and all they see is how I look on the outside and what I have and not who I am as a person.

  • Are you nuts or what ?! I think I can express my opinion and I think as I said that it's a beautiful song!

    Did I talked about sex? No so why did you ?! I didn't think about that for a second

  • ohmy look just allike the blondy here. :/

  • One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard !

    <3

  • @Tiiff4nyx you think its beautiful look up naked and sacred its a spiritual song its very nice and no for people who are reading this its not about sex and things like that its about love and trust 

  • Wow that's a gorgeous picture.

  • i hear this song and i cry. its the first song that i can relate to 

  • typically, i make my status on facebook song lyrics. sadly for this one, i can't. there's too many beautiful lyrics and not enough characters allowed in a status. ):

  • <3 <3 <3 <3

    

  • This song is just beautiful. Sometimes it amazes me how music can describe your crazy emotions in one or two verses and a chorus, let alone a song!

  • raping the replay button ♥

  • Why aren't they together anymore?

  • This song reminds me so much of myself, and my life right now.

    Pretty rad song.

  • Comment removed

  • paranoid <3 emo forever

  • ^^my life.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • I didnt even realise michelle branch done this album etc like her music, brought it the other day, and i love it!!!! This song sums up some things!

    Great song :)

  • The first time I heard this song, I was taken by suprise... it's like they are singing directly to me. This song is my life story.

  • This song has such a sad message! But it is so deep! I can relate to this sometimes. I LOVE the sound to this song!!! It sort of has a HANUTING sound to it.

  • thnx for the song y'all:) i'm goin through crap in my life right now, so this is great.

  • i need to do this. everyday an ex tries to talk to me. i jus need to stand and look pretty til i move.

  • love this song!

  • Its not easy being me. I dont just stand still and be pretty.

  • this is pretty much how my lifes been since may of 2007 and things still hasnt change sometimes i want give up but cant my son is what keeps me fighting every day !!!!!!!!!!

  • This song describes my life.

  • This song seemed to describe my life a few years ago. Now, I can say this is a beautiful song, but I no longer feel like it sums up my life. This goes to show, there is hope!

  • Story of my life right now.. Don't want to sound stuck up, but I'm told by everyone that I'm gorgeous, and I am. But then, there are the people that think my life is perfect and I get everything handed to me on a silver platter just because I'm 'beautiful'. They have no idea..

  • This really is my life's theme song. I've always been treated like I've been through nothing and can't do anything. Everyone always tells me to just stand still and look pretty. College isn't much better than the rest of it has been.

  • I wish i could start over :(

    this song is everything that i feel.

  • I feel like this all the time :( Sometimes i just sit home and cry all day. No one knows. I never want to go to school because everyone hates me :(

  • @RawrLetsmakeascene I'm sure it's not true. They don't really feel like hating you...They say bad things only to make themselves feel better, but don't believe that hurting you actually feels good. Nobody's bad,only selfish. Try and be strong for those who love you. Like your parents or friends. Even if you don't have friends I'm sure there are lots of persons who wishe to be your friend at school but they just think you want to be alone cause maybe you're shy and you don't talk often.

  • i luv this song!!!!!! my friend danced to it last year

  • this song is so meaningful, unlike so many dumbass songs these days.

    michelle & jessica are so beautiful, too!

  • Middle School Got Slightly Got Better For Me I have Great Friends Who Me The World To Me But Before That It Was Hell... I Thought I had a sign Over My Head Saying New Person...Make Fun at Will :( My Life Isnt perfect But They Make It A Whole Lot Better <3

  • wish i could force my ex to listen to this

  • to all the people that hate middle school and are having a rough time, you will get through it, i promise! that's how my middle school years were, it really does feel like that was yesterday but now I'm in college and have met the most amazing people in my life, don't take everything so seriously, it will all fade and mean nothing soon

  • god. i am so depressed.

    my best friends dad died of cancer on christmas eve.

    school's hell.

    i don't have friends...[ my best friend lives 8 hrs away ] everyone else hates me.

    all i have is music. especially this song. fml. and yeah, like crazygurl652 said...theme song...middle school sucks.

  • @alexistheeebest agreed middle school is shitty ive been in love with the same guy for almost two years and he leads me on and lets me down over and over again and i cant get over him

  • @fanpire1915 middle school is like the worst thing ever. & people just talk so much shit about everyone...it's crazy & dumb.

    & I'm sorry. this isn't much help but you might want to move on. try atleast. if he leads you on just to drop you he's not gonna be a great bf anyway. there's tons of fish in the water (:

  • @alexistheeebest hes not rlly like that he doesnt purposely do it he really is a gr8 guy

  • @alexistheeebest oh That Sucks :( And Not Everyone hates You, Take A Random Person for instance They really Have Nothing to go on to hate you (:

  • @FreekyDragon96 (: so true. but god i wish people wouldn't judge, just get to know me... (:

  • @alexistheeebest I Know The Feeling... I hate When people judge... Then They Dont Understand Why you have a problem with it? and You Seem Cool To Me :P (:

  • @FreekyDragon96 thank you! you seem cool too. <3

    yeah it's like seriously, god stop being a bitch . lol, thank goodness middle school only lasts for so long, lol.

  • @alexistheeebest Thanks <3

    and I Know Right? lol Im Out Of It This Year lol

  • this song is my life.

  • 8 People are Teletubbies

  • <33

  • I love this song omg!!

  • i know this feeling... My best friend my boy frind my life killled him self nd this song refleces all the hell i went thru and still am!

  • okay this is my problem, my little sis treats me like a shit, she treats like shit every friend of us, our two best friends are in love with her... i don't know why. sometimes she actually makes me feel like a real shit, i feel like no one but my boyfriend and parents love me i have some personal problems and my sister keeps treating me like a fucking piece of shit, like if i was her slave i dont let her do that, but she thinks i'm stupid and understimates me a lot. our friends only want her.

  • @ksbrou it all gets better please trust me. i was going thru the same thing but life is funny. the things we care about now mean almost nothing in a few years. life changes and you will get your turn to shine. i am 22 but been thru alot. please please dont get down. she will get hers when she gets older. but dont be mean to her now. karma is not your friend nor do you want to mess with her lol.

  • @sbea9910 i'll trust you, you're right maybe things can get better :)

  • @ksbrou Well don't let her. It's hard sometimes to be confident and stand strong esp. when it's you're own blood making you feel like crap. You just have to know that you are better than how she makes you feel and treats you and then your confidence will = happiness. Maybe if you push off rude comments instead of letting it get to you your sister makes she will start to be more respectful. Sometimes you just gotta dgaf it ;)

  • @ksbrou guuurl.. she's your little sister, seniority hun, don't let it get to you. and as for sharing friends with your YOUNGER sister, get older friends, ones who look at her and go, "ew... little girl... i dont want to be friends with a little girl" thats my words of wisdom.. just sayin, dont let it get to you.

  • @smilisgood hahahahhahahahaha "Eww little girl". yeah right, i was depressed. thanks anyway :D

  • 7 ppl no taste in music

  • @Rogue969 Crazygurl652 never said that her life is worse than yours (or second daughters in China for that matter). She's allowed to be sad. You don't know what she's dealing with, so don't get mad at her for being upset.

  • i love this song!! its amazing

  • I wanna paint my face... And pretend that I am someone else... Sometimes I get so fed up I don't even wanna look at myself... But people with problems that are worse then mine-I don't want you think I'm complaining all the time, and I hate the way you look at me I have to say I wish I could start over again... I am slowly falling apart I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start and you might think its easy being me.... You just stand still look pretty...

  • @Shannin377 Everyone is beautiful both inside and out. You may not believe me but I strongly believe it. You should love who you are no matter what you have done. What you do makes you who you are and you learn from your mistakes. You should live your life every second of everyday to its fullest because you only have one life to lie it and you never know when it is going to come to an end. Keep your chin up. I have faith in you:)

  • i stumbled across this and near cried because i can relate to it completely... i can relate to every bit......

  • haha describes me im normally just a pretty face and i can't stand to look at myself and everyone think im all perfect but they don't know how much guilt i get from it how much trouble i get i hate it and still get picked on for not talking and i don't complain becuse know other peoples problems are worse its kinda nice to know im not the only one with troubles like this

  • i wrote down the lyrics from 0:01 to 1:06 and my friend read it and said did you write that for what you feel like or is that a song and i said a song. She looked at me and said that discribes you so well.

  • This song really explains everythingI've been trying to say forever!

  • awesome song

  • The wreckers are awesome!

  • this song sounds soo familiar, was it in a movie or something?

  • i feel like this evryday!

  • @froggy430 i agree i feel like this as well

  • love this songg(:

  • this song is so true im 19 years old and have cancer and its so hard to deal with it but i know i'm goin to be okay

  • Love you Michelle; she's uber-talented, and super-cute.

  • %<this song is soo my theme song right now>%

  • Best song :)

  • Self worth is much more important than anything society believes is worthwhile these days. Disregard anything and everything you see in the media and merchandising, believe in yourself, and the beauty within shall win the day.

  • Michelle Branch I LOVE YOU

  • my life. behind the smiles 'i am slowly falling apart'

  • This song is so beautiful, the lyrics have a great meaning to them.

  • This song explains it all. Just because someone is pretty and they get good grades and crap, doesn't mean that their family is perfect, or their life or anything. In the end its those people that are the most screwed up.

  • one of da best songs i ever heard just cried when first heard it. felt like it was my life they were singing about

  • This song is literally ny life story and I love it

  • Beautiful. I love these two.

    Can you upload "Rain" and "Crazy People" from this album as well? I would really appreciate it :)

    I'll rate and subscribe for you now.

  • @pacific5crush ... Thats deep... im with u

  • recuerdos de una gran amiga unica en america que together we are lisent this sonog thank!s amber senff

  • This song was on shuffle on my iPod. When it came on, those first few verses, that voice, those chords, all I could think was wow. It's better to just listen to it, no distractions, and it just hits you.

  • This song means a whole lot to me. When I am upset about anything I listen to this repeatedly and just lay in my bed and even cry sometimes. Proves what my life is like. I would love for the kids that used to make fun of me in school to go through the things I did. They probably wouldnt survive what I been through. =)

  • this song is pretty tight

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is totally going to be my life's themesong now. School 'effin sucks. i dont understand when i was chosen to be everyones punching bag.

  • @GladysKunt Well arent you just the heartless bitch :]

  • @CrazyGurl652 holy cow i feel the exact same way no joke im 100% serious

  • @CrazyGurl652 Did you just become everybody's punch bag without reason? 'cause we have a "punching bag" too, not that we hit her, but everybody hate her.

    And she deserves it. She threatened my best friend on her life when we were younger, she's bisexual, which is fine, but she kinda tries to fuck everybody with clothes on and doesn't understand when somebody says no... and the list goes on. And i really, really tried to like her and be friends with her, but i can't do that when she's doing all

  • @RoxiriOrSokai no no no i NEVER did anything like that. it was without reason.

  • @CrazyGurl652 okey good... it's just apparently if you ask her or her parents, then she's an angel.

    But uff.. i know people that do that against people like you...

  • @CrazyGurl652 Amen, honey!

  • @CrazyGurl652 i'm homeschooled now,but when i was in christian school,i got bullie REALLY bad.

  • @CrazyGurl652 Don't know what to say to you, girl. Life sucks. Deal with it. You got dealt pretty good cards. Punching bag? I'd rather be a punching bag than watch my grandmother's casket be lowered six feet under. Thank you very much.

    No offense intended. I'm just really pissed off from the funeral and listened to this for relief and seeing this comment just set me off. But I'm not erasing what I said. You got dealt pretty good cards. Better than second daughters in China. They get smothered.

  • @Rogue969 lol. ok, this was about stuff that happened 2 years ago anyways. and ouch, you know my life? do YOU know the things i've seen and heard? no, dont go telling me that i dont know how to deal. i probably know much better than you with what i've had.

  • @CrazyGurl652 I'm not saying that your life is worse than mine, or that you implied it. I'm merely saying that sometimes it's better not to say anything at all, just enjoy the beauty of what you have. I'll let you talk about it, I'll let you say it if you want, but I won't go in life without voicing my opinion if you choose to so speak.

  • Stand up for yourslef.

  • @CrazyGurl652  i understand what u fell ://

  • i no i wish ppl would stop judging each other every1 should b there self

  • i am slowly falling apart. </3

  • I feel like my life could very well fal apart at any point and moment right NOW!!!

  • best song i´ve heard in a while now

  • i love these lyrics

  • i love this song..!!

  • love

  • love

  • i love this song

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!

  • Wow, what a song!

  • i'm in <3 with this song :)

  • I love this song it is the best song in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 ☻

  • LAME! Unless your friend is Jessica Harp or Michelle Branch, she didn't write the song. The Wreckers wrote this song, just like nearly every other song on this album.

  • Check out Wikipedia..or any other website that has the song writers. They will all say Michelle and Jessica.

    No offense, mate, but no one's gonna believe you. Might as well give it up.

  • That actually does happen. I don't know a whole lot about the music business, but I've heard of that happening before where they pay to take credit for writing a song. I don't know if I believe this person, because it definitely is the type of beautiful song that The Wreckers would write, but it's not out of the question.

  • True, true. Just like in any other line of work, there are always scandals beneath the surface. BUT, as you said, I highly doubt that the Wreckers would do that, they are real artists, not like some of these fake, lame pop-artists that are constantly rising to stardom with "autotune" haha =D

  • You're right. I actually think T-Pain is really a computer.

  • hahaha yea, but again, I'm torn there. I know that the real T-Pain (that actual person) probably can't sing very well, but I kinda like the sound of his computer voice on some of his songs, so I don't really know what to do: complain or love it. =P

  • lol ur friend wrote it....

  • yeah sure your friend wrote it....

  • I believe you :)

    and yes, is a very good song
