Lyrics
Not So Pretty Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You like to open it, open wide
Then you let everyone come inside
There's always something you gotta hide
So you lied and you lied and you lied
Make sure you grab everything that you need
You got a hole that you gotta feed
You tried to fill it all up with your greed
But it bleeds, and it bleeds, and it bleeds
Well go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big super star
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Nobody burns quite as bright
Well goddamn, maybe you're right
There's always battles there for you to fight
And you might, yes you just might, you just might
But there is something I gotta say
There is a price you're going to pay
Try as hard as you can to stay
You're just fading and fading and fading the fuck away
Well go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Well go take a little more
We'll scrape you off the floor
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
A great big superstar
Is what you think you are
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
Better turn the lights down low
The cracks begin to show
We love you anyhow
But you're not so pretty now
And soon you will be gone
And we will all move on
You never mattered anyhow
And you're not so pretty now
