You're pretty Like the moon
no one can get to you
that's lonely but its true
youre pretty like the moon
folk songs and cigarettes
you're such a perfect mess
you seem so unimpressed
you smile when you're depressed

but darling let me see the scars youre hiding underneath your makeup
show me what it is
that youre afraid of
why you hide behind your pretty things

anddont you know that even roses die

and nothing is made to last forever
even beauty fades
you cant always rely on pretty things
red wine and vanity
your fashion fantasies
that smile can't hide your tears
no that boy cant hide your fears
its better when it hurts
it shows you what its worth
so cue the mascarade
becauseinside you're still afraid
so darling, show me all the scars you're hiding underneath your makeup
show me what it is
that youre afraid of
why you hide behind your pretty things
and dont you know that even roses die
and that nothings really made to last forever
even beauty fades
you cant always rely on pretty things
what goes up
must come down
you fly too high
oh you're gonna hit the ground
too many words, they dont explain
so we hide behind the pretty things
behind the laughter and behind the smiles
I've got my scars that I'm hiding too
oh darling
show me what you're hiding
and I'll show you what im hiding behind the white (?) pretty things
