Lyrics:
Don't tell me pretty lies
Lord tell me ugly ones instead
Don't say you like my pretty eyes
Just cut them out my pretty head
I told you that I liked a boy last week
Now I'm not sure if that's quite true
I'd never liked a boy before last week
I'm pretty sure that I just wanted too
And I will never get the way
He makes you feel
If I don't dream of long white dresses,
Am I even real?
And I don't understand
What makes me different from you
Go take your pretty lies
And choke on the hell you put me through
I hate the way you're always perfect
The way your boyfriend calls you beautiful
And every time he seems to mean it
'Cause all your charm is indisputable
Your friends all giggle when I pass them
And I could see why they would laugh
Sometimes I really want to ask them
The things you say behind my loser back
And I will never get the way
He makes you feel
If I don't dream of long white dresses,
Am I even real?
And I don't understand
What makes me different from you
Go take your pretty lies
And choke on the hell you put me through
And if I made the effort,
Do you think I could be pretty?
Do you think if I were normal,
I'd have tons of friends?
I wish I could understand you
I wish people weren't scary
And if I wanted love,
Do you think I'd have the chance?
And I will never get the way
He makes you feel
And I can't get back all those years
You tried to steal
And I don't understand
What makes me different from you
Go take your pretty lies
And choke on the hell you put me through
