Unpretty

Been a broken down car on a side street Damn near lost it all on a bad week (hm) I was praying for change How could only Twelve Steps feel so far away? So many lies I stopped counting Tryin' to walk a straight felt like tryin' to move a mountain And I was praying for change Would've died if I'd have stayed the same, hm 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 have 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 myself I can't pretend I'm not unpretty Been a 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 (oh) With one step forward, fell ten steps back Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh I never thought I'd forgive myself and say I hate the man I used to be But, he will always be a part of me Right now, looking at my past I know it's unpretty (oh Lord, I know) Can't have 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 myself I can't pretend I'm not unpretty Said, I am (I am) nothing (nothing) Without (without) myself (myself) 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
