Pretty Ugly: Unveiling the Beauty in Heartbreak
Lyrics
It was Sunday drive blue sky weather
Describing a pleasant Sunday drive under a clear blue sky.
It was two names carved in a heart on a tree
Referencing romantic gestures like carving names on a tree.
It was him and me thinking it was gonna last forever
Reflecting on the belief that the relationship would last forever.
It was looking like a real deal diamond ring
Comparing the relationship to a genuine diamond ring.
Oh I'm talkin' picture perfect Polaroid put it in a frame
Describing a perfect moment to be preserved like a Polaroid picture.
Oh but it's lookin' like it's all done changed
Expressing a realization that things have changed.
Roses on the counter are wilted now
Noting the deterioration of roses, symbolizing the fading love.
Nail holes where I took the pictures down
Indicating the removal of pictures with visible nail holes.
Right side nightstand looks a little bit dusty
Observing neglect on the nightstand, a metaphor for the relationship.
Heartbreak makes pretty ugly
Stating that heartbreak transforms external beauty into something ugly.
Mascara runnin' down a made up face
Describing the aftermath with mascara running down a tear-stained face.
Clouds rolled in now it always rains
Metaphorically mentioning constant emotional rain after the breakup.
It was beautiful up until he said he didn't love me
Recalling the moment when the partner admitted not loving anymore.
Heartbreak makes pretty ugly
Reiterating that heartbreak changes the perception of beauty.
I'm usually a little more put together
Acknowledging a departure from the usual composed self.
But I can't quit wearin' his worn out shirt
Symbolizing lingering attachment by wearing the ex's shirt.
Missin' him's still sitting front and center
Expressing the ongoing pain of missing the former partner.
And I can't even hide how bad it hurts
Inability to hide the emotional distress caused by the breakup.
Roses on the counter are wilted now
Repeating the symbolism of withered roses representing faded love.
Nail holes where I took the pictures down
Reiterating the removal of pictures, emphasizing the past.
Right side nightstand looks a little bit dusty
Describing a neglected nightstand, reflecting emotional neglect.
Heartbreak makes pretty ugly
Restating that heartbreak transforms external beauty into something ugly.
Mascara runnin' down a made up face
Continuing the description of the aftermath with running mascara.
Clouds rolled in and now it always rains
