pretty things

Lyrics

you're pretty like the moon, no one can get to you, that's lonely but it's true, you're pretty like the moon, folk songs and cigarettes, you're such a perfect mess, you seem so unimpressed, you smile when you're depressed, but darlin' let me see the scars you're hiding, underneath you're makeup, show me what it is that you're afraid of, why you hide behind your pretty things, and don't you know that even roses die, and nothing's really made to last forever, even beauty fades, you can't always rely on, pretty things, red wine and vanity, your fashion fantasies, that smile can't hide your tears, that boy can't hide your fears, it's better when it hurts, it shows you what it's worth, so cue the masquerade, inside your still afraid, so darlin' show me all the the scars you're hiding, underneath your makeup, show me what it is that you're afraid of, why you hide behind your pretty things, and don't you know that even roses die, and nothing's really made to last forever, even beauty fades, you can't always rely on, pretty things, what goes up, must come down, you fly too high, oh, you're gonna hit the ground, too many words, they don't explain, so we hide behind our pretty things, behind the laughter and behind the smiles, i've got my scars that i'm hiding too, darling, how me what you're hiding, and i'll show you what i'm hiding, behind all my pretty things
