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

[Chorus]
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

It's so pitiful what you are, you should have seen this coming all along

[Chorus]

    Song Meaning:To the girl...they made there name and it was so contested and average people took it way out of context and they made it so blatantly media-sized about them doing something slightly wrong wile the person criticizing them is a hypocrite usually.

    General Comment:This song is about all of the celebrities who live their lives acting so stupidly in front of paparazzi. It's also about the misconstrued priorities in our society, where celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are famous for nothing. They're beautiful, but pitiful at the same time.

    to me this is one of the best songs ever written, such a beautiful(no pun intended)and honest song.
    It has a eerie summer vibe to it and i listened to the song all of summer 2008.

    General Comment:I love the verse "Maybe you're alone for a reason, you're the reason."

    He's saying that it's her fault that no wants to be with her.
    Very in your face. Like he's telling her "Told you so."

    General Comment:This song could have been written for me. Im am very very beautiful and for a long time was very very full of myself and selfish. Got big ole implants, had big ego, thought the world should evolve around me and fuck everyone else. But all that was just a wall, an outer shell that I had built up over alot of time to hide the fact that I am actually very insecure and unsure of myself. I was overcompensating to hide that. And I hid it so long and so well that I almost lost myself in all that. And I was alone. I mean there where always men tryin to get in my pants and shit but I was alone...for a reason, I was the reason!! When I heard this song for the first time I cried. And when I saw them perform this song live it gave me goose bumps. Im lovin it like McDonalds baby!!
