Pretty Ugly
I never felt like in was good enough.
I wasn't pretty
I wasn't ugly
But I guess it never mattered
Cause no one could see me.
And even if they could
They wouldn't really see me
They'd see what I could give them
How I could please them
What could they get out of me.
See because I always wanted to be that girl
The one everyone envies
But that wasn't me.
I couldn't be.
I wasn't pretty
I wasn't ugly
I was me.
A hungry soul begging to be fed
I wasn't seen as equal to the girls I saw
They were it
I wasn't
But I guess it never mattered
Cause no one could see me
They saw my body
The curves I believed to be nonexistent
The life, the spirit that was me.
I wasn't pretty
I wasn't ugly.
So one by one
They played me
Lied to me
Tired to be
More to me than I could see
Slick with words
They really couldn't see me.
They saw what they wanted to see.
So now I know
I'm not pretty
I'm not ugly
I'm me..
