Unpretty Lyrics by Jelly Roll
Been a broken-down car on a side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week
Hmm
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies I start counting
Trying to walk a straight line felt like trying to move a mountain
And I was praying for change
Would’ve died if I had stayed the same
Hmm
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 hide 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 my sins
I can’t pretend
I’m not unpretty
Been the 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
With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that
Oh, I never thought I’d see the day
When I’d forgive myself and say
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 (Oh, Lord, I know)
Can’t hide 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 my sins
I can’t pretend
I’m not unpretty
Said, I am nothing without my sins (I am nothing without my sins)
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
