lyrics

Work up my courage
Drain a bitter pint
Drum out a confidential prayer
She's radiating rum
And warming up the light
I'm trying, poorly,
Not to stare

Let me come clean
Let me be bold
It's been an age since I've been sold

But if you can bear with the ebb and flow
We can pretend your scars don't show
And if I can prove my stories are true
We can pretend I'm
Pretty enough for you

I'm ripped up, torn apart, and breathing free
I've licked my wounds and I've tallied the marks
And I have lost my patience with lust and bad poetry
The rusty metal still casts sparks

But you've got some grace
You've got some nerve
You've got that shattered skin
Promises to keep
And guts to preserve

So

If you can bear with the ebb and flow
We can pretend your scars don't show
And if I can prove my stories are true
We can pretend I'm pretty enough for you

So if you can bear with the ebb and flow
We can pretend your scars don't show
And if I can prove my stories are true
We can pretend I'm pretty enough
Yeah, we can pretend I'm pretty enough
We can pretend I'm pretty enough for you
