Adapting elements from electronic and lo-fi hip-hop, “I Wish I Was Pretty” is a hard-hitting single for Thomas Reid, while still maintaining the intimate nature of his usual sound.
[Intro]
I’m afraid of my shadow
Afraid of what it thinks of me
I’m biting my tongue now
Choke it down till I fall asleep
I’m starting a fire
Just to watch something burn
She said, come a little closer
And watch me take what’s yours
My veins are ice cold, dear
I think they need a little air
Slice the doors wide open
Just to watch and see who cares
My eyes are so red now
I had too much but you had too much too
I don’t care what they think, love
Just as long as I don’t think of you
I wish I was pretty
I wish I was just like you
I wish I could stand up straight
And you could fix my insides too
I wish I was pretty
I wish I was just like you
Wish I didn’t think so much
Turn off my head—
I just need to know if you still love me
