Pretty Things - Jam in the Van, Adam Friedman

You’re pretty Like the moon

no one can get to you

that’s lonely but its true.

youre 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 darling let me see the scars youre hiding underneath your.

makeup show me

what.

it.

is that youre afraid of.

why you hide behind your pretty things and.

dont you know that even roses die and nothing is made to last.

forever even

beauty.

fades

you cant always rely on pretty things

red wine and vanity

your fashion fantasies

that smile can’t hide your tears

no that boy cant hide your fears

its better when it hurts

it shows you what its worth

so cue the mascarade because

inside you’re still afraid

so darling, show me all the scars you’re hiding underneath your makeup show me

what

it

is that youre afraid of

why you hide behind your pretty things and

dont you know that even roses die and that nothings really made to last forever

even beauty fades

you cant 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 dont explain

so we hide behind the pretty things

behind the laughter and behind the smiles

I’ve got my scars that i’m hiding too

oh darling

show me what you’re hiding

and i’ll show you what im hiding behind the white (?) pretty things
