Ugly

How can you honestly say I don't have you back?
I am the one who is always right there to pick up the pieces
You cried in my arms every time that you were attacked
And never felt so low
You trade your diamonds for rubies
Don't know why you do this
When I'm always on your side
It's easy to blame
Easy to feign on someone else
But you can't look me in the eye
How'd we get so ugly?
How'd we get so ugly?
After all of this time
After all of this time
How'd we get so ugly?
How'd we get so ugly?
You know blood is for life
You know blood is for life
Don't know who I am anymore
Can't believe you've given up
When I need you the most
Like I'm just a stranger
I'm fixin' holes in the walls
Tryin' to make it look perfect to everyone else
'Cause I really loved her
I'm tired of all your excuses
Don't know why we do this
When I'm always on your side
It's easy to blame
Easy to feign on someone else
But you can't look me in the eye
How'd we get so ugly?
How'd we get so ugly?
After all of this time
After all of this time
How'd we get so ugly?
How'd we get so ugly?
You know blood is for life
You know blood is for life
How'd we get so ugly?
(How'd we get so ugly?)
How'd we get so ugly?
(How'd we get so ugly?)
How'd we get so ugly?
(How'd we get so ugly?)
You know blood is for life
You know blood is for life
You trade your diamonds for rubies
You don't have to do this
'Cause I'm always on your side
It's easy to blame
Easy to feign on someone else
But I know who we are inside
How'd we get so ugly?
How'd we get so ugly?
After all of this time
After all of this time
How'd we get so ugly?
How'd we get so ugly?
You know blood is for life
You know blood is for life
How'd we get so ugly?
(How'd we get so ugly?)
How'd we get so ugly?
(How'd we get so ugly?)
How'd we get so ugly?
(How'd we get so ugly?)
You know blood is for life
You know blood is for life
How'd we get so ugly?
