Unpretty

Been a broken-down car on a side street

Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hmm

I was praying for change

How could only twelve steps feel so far away?

So many lies I start counting

Trying to walk a straight line felt like trying to move a mountain

And I was praying for change

Would've died if I'd a-stayed the same, hmm

I hate the man I used to be

But he'll always be a part of me

Right now, looking at my past

I know it's unpretty

Can't hide the pain that I've been through

I wear my scars like my tattoos

The man who I was, was wrong

But he's the one who built me

Said, I am nothing without my sins

I can't pretend

I'm not unpretty

Been the whiskey glass left half empty

Seen the bright lights a few times, and that's what saved me

Ain't no stranger to pain

The ones who love me all feel the same

With every one step forward, fell ten steps back

Lot of years in the dark felt just like that

Oh, I never thought I'd see the day

When I'd forgive myself and say

"I hate the man I used to be

But he'll always be a part of me

Right now, looking at my past

I know it's unpretty (Oh, Lord, I know)

Can't hide the pain that I've been through

I wear my scars like my tattoos

The man who I was, was wrong

But he's the one who built me"

Said, "I am nothing without my sins

I can't pretend

I'm not unpretty"

Said, "I am nothing without my sins (I am nothing without my sins)

I can't pretend

I'm not unpretty"

I hate the man I used to be

But he'll always be a part of me

Right now, looking at my past

I know it's unpretty
