Pretty Hurts

Mama said, 

"You're a pretty girl.

What's in your head, it doesn't matter

Brush your hair, fix your teeth.

What you wear is all that matters."

Pretty Hurts

We shine the light on whatever's worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation

>>Pretty Hurts

Stay With Me

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand

But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man

These nights never seem to go to plan

I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?

'Cause you're all I need

This ain't love, it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?

No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control

And deep down I know this never works

But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Hush, Don't Speak

La la, la la la la la na na na na na,

La la na na, la la la la la na na na na na

Hush, don't speak

When you spit your venom, keep it shut I hate it

When you hiss and preach

About your new messiah 'cause your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining

I don't mean to judge

But when you read your speech, it's tiring

Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid

When your words mean nothing, 

I go la la la

A Motherless Child

Sometime I feel

Like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel

Like a motherless child

Right now I feel like a motherless child

A long...long way...from my home

My holidays are hollow days

With memories of my mother's face

I can see her now, when she smiles

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Mother said she would never leave

That she would always be there for me

Where are you now???

And sometimes I feel

Like I'm almost gone

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm all alone

A long...a long way...from home

3 Things

There are three things I do when my life falls apart

Number one I cry my eyes out and I dry up my heart

Not until I do this will my new life start

Yeah that’s the first thing that I do when my life falls apart.

Oh the second thing I would do is I would close both of my eyes

And sing the parts I knew of favorite songs up to the sky.

I go where I know the love is centering that look inside

Gathering new strength from sorrow,

I’d die to feel alive.

I keep it calm around me.

I’m safe inside my storm.

I’m seeing all is grounding.

Cause on the ground you can’t get no lower.

No when you’re grounded you can’t get no lower.

Yeah the third thing that I do now when my world caves in,

is I pause I take a breath and bow and I let that chapter end.

I design my future bright not by where my life has been.

And I try, try, try, try, try again.

Yes I try, try, try, try, try again.
