Unpretty

Been a broken down car on a side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week (hm)
I was praying for change
How could only Twelve Steps feel so far away?

So many lies I stopped counting
Tryin' to walk a straight felt like tryin' to move a mountain
And I was praying for change
Would've died if I'd have stayed the same, hm

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 have 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 myself
I can't pretend
I'm not unpretty

Been a 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 (oh)
With one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I'd forgive myself and say

I hate the man I used to be
But, he will always be a part of me
Right now, looking at my past
I know it's unpretty (oh Lord, I know)

Can't have 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 myself
I can't pretend
I'm not unpretty

Said, I am (I am) nothing (nothing)
Without (without) myself (myself)
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
