Lyrics

The Prettiest Girl In An Ugly Town

The prettiest girl in an ugly town
Got used to turning heads around
Her power disproportionate
But she didn’t know any different
‘Til the coldest day of the warmest year
When she finally left despite her fears
And when the truth it cut her like a knife
That girl she fully came to life
Hard as we try
Bit by bit the little lies
We use to survive lose hold

The prettiest girl from an ugly town
She’s driving in an Outback now
Windows down singing along
With 4 Non-B londes “What’s Going On”
Broke loose from chains of selfish eyes
That slowly, subtly defined
Her as they needed her to be
Sometimes new eyes can set you free
Hard as we try
Bit by bit the little lies
We use to survive lose hold

You could buy the nicest house on a shitty street
To avoid your feelings of defeat
Or be the least fucked up of your fucked up friends
So you never have to change a thing
Like the prettiest girl from an ugly town
If she never left but stuck around
Safe but only half alive
A truth from which you can’t quite hide
Hard as we try
Bit by bit the little lies
We use to survive lose hold
