I have always really enjoyed her round-about way of getting to the point in her song... You can always tell what she is talking about, but she gives examples and uses a much more figurative language than just saying "I'm not perfect, and I feel bad if I made you think I was, so it's okay if you want to put up a front, too, I guess." It seems like a few of the words are not right, though.

"So look at how I'm taking the make-up off my face"

Nothing that changes the meaning of the song very much, though.
