Pretty

[Verse 1]
It's never a date
That ends with a kiss and a hushed goodbye
Never waking up
To a text with a clumsy, "Hey, I had a good time"
There's never more
Than meets their dark, dangerous eyes
That I fall into each time
Not remembering why I should keep my feet on the ground
I always say
"He wasn't my type anyway"
With a smile made of ice
I list off why the flicker didn't turn into a flame
But they know
That we both know I didn't end the chapter
It's always they who decide
That I'm not right to be a part of their ever after

[Chorus]
I'm pretty great, pretty smart
You would think that's a start
For something more
Tell me, why I'm always the one left behind
Or the girl they settle for
I'm pretty sure I'm doing all that I can to be the one
Who is on their mind
So tell me how I should change
How to act, how to look
If you'd be so kind

[Verse 2]
I shouldn't give up
Shouldn't seek love in every corner
I should let it go
But don't lose hope, let it hit me like a storm
You can tell me that I'm free
That alone doesn't have to mean lonely
That I'm smart and strong, clever and strong, but then I guess I'm just not that pretty

[Chorus]
I'm pretty great, pretty smart
You would think that's a start
For something more
Tell me, why I'm always the one left behind
Or the girl they settle for
I'm pretty sure I'm doing all that I can to be the one
Who is on their mind
So tell me how I should change
How to act, how to look
If you'd be so kind

[Bridge: Harmonization]

[Outro]
It's never a date
That ends with a kiss or a hushed goodbye
Never waking up
To a text with a clumsy, "Hey, I had a good time"
