This song is about people who on the outside may look happy and put a smile on(my outsides look cool)..., but deep down they are filled with emotion and feeling bad(my insides are blue)...

The chorus means that you can fix up yourself to look as pretty as ever,if its for a boyfriend or whatever..but deep down on the inside you don't know who you are and wonder what is your purpose and may you feel not so pretty

I think this is more than just being pretty and made to believe that she's ugly, it's about how her boyfriend has changed her, this is what she means when she says unpretty - she doesn't like who she is now because of her boyfriend. She says she only has herself to blame - because she's let this happen. I think the chorus is about people covering up who they really are not really about changing your features because your ugly. She says 'Maybe get rid of you and then I'll get back to me' this is her saying she needs to get rid and then she can be herself again. Basically I think the song is about changing yourself into something your not for the sake of other people.

Have you ever had the feeling that you have to be perfect? in the song, the girl wants to please her boyfriend by getting breast implants and the one girl hordes food but the meaning of the song is to be yourself and feel free and you have a choice. You was to be you for you not for everyone else. If one can't see you then kick them to the curve.

my interpretation of the song is that you should accept yourself the way you are and not allow anyone to make you feel "unpretty" in any way. "You can't buy your hair if it won't grow, you can fix your nose if you say so..." You can try to change your appearance to please other people but what's the point if you are not happy inside

The song to me is talking about a young lady who has lost track of who she is because of a man. He wants her to change her physical appearance and has obviously been criticizing the way she looks. However, before she met him, she never felt those insecure feelings that are surfacing. Whereas she used to feel cute, she now feels ugly. On the inside, she feels sad and very blue even though to the eye she looks fine.
