Pretty Boy
Love's Unpretty Truths: Sydney Mack's Pretty Boy Revelations
Lyrics
You're pretty good at leavin'
You are skilled at leaving.
And pretty good at comin' back
You are adept at returning.
I'm pretty good at cryin'
I am skilled at crying.
I'm pretty used to that
I am accustomed to crying.
You're pretty easy on the eyes
You have an attractive appearance.
Pretty hard on the heart
You are emotionally challenging.
Until you heard me say goodbye
Before saying goodbye, you believed you were clever.
You thought you were pretty smart
You thought you were intelligent.
Hey pretty boy
Addressing the person as a pretty boy.
You were pretty sure
You were confident.
It was gonna work out for ya
Expected things to work out as if my heart had no say.
Like my heart didn't have a choice
Implies lack of choice in matters of the heart.
And you thought you
You believed...
Had me wrapped around your finger
...you had control over me.
Betcha thought I'd always be here
Assumption that I would always be present.
I know it hurts like hell but sometimes
Acknowledging the pain of love.
Love ain't pretty boy
Love is not always beautiful.
There's no use in tryin'
No point in attempting...
To use those pretty words
...to use attractive words.
Cause I know you're lyin'
Acknowledging deception.
Nothin I ain't already heard
I've heard it all before.
Save your pretty promises
Don't make promises.
Save your pretty breath
Don't waste your words.
Cause tonight you're gonna end up in
Predicting a lonely night for the person.
A pretty lonely bed
You'll end up alone.
Hey pretty boy
Reiteration of addressing as a pretty boy.
You were pretty sure
Confident again.
It was gonna work out for ya
Expecting success despite my heart's choice.
Like my heart didn't have a choice
Repetition of belief in control.
And you thought ya
You believed...
Had me wrapped around your finger
...you had me under your control.
Betcha thought I'd always be here
Assumption of perpetual presence.
I know it hurts like hell but sometimes
Acknowledging the painful nature of love.
Love ain't pretty boy
Emphasizing that love is not always beautiful.
Pretty boy
Repetition: Love isn't always pretty.
Love ain't pretty boy
-Go on and find some pretty face
Suggesting finding someone new.
That thinks you're pretty cool
Finding someone who thinks highly of you.
Cause I think it's pretty safe to say
Indicating unwillingness to be deceived.
I ain't your pretty fool
I won't be fooled.
Hey pretty boy
Reiteration of addressing as a pretty boy.
You were pretty sure
Confident repetition.
It was gonna work out for ya
Expecting success despite my heart's choice.
Like my heart didn't have a choice
Repetition of lack of choice in matters of the heart.
And you thought ya
You believed...
Had me wrapped around your finger
...you had control over me.
Betcha thought I'd always be here
Assumption that I would always be present.
I know it hurts like hell but sometimes
Acknowledging the pain of love.
Love ain't pretty boy
Emphasizing that love is not always beautiful.
Love ain't pretty boy
Repetition: Love isn't always pretty.
