Dead Blonde Girlfriend – Pretty as a Picture lyrics

Everyone lets get along OK OK
And please don't bring your pain to my game
Are you feeling kind of restless, Feeling out of order
Like the number one son or the forgotten daughter
Hold on my loved one let's go drinking with god
If life hits you hard you better be hitting harder
The grass is always greener when they all want to be you
Or they just want to see you drowning out their screams

Chorus
You're as pretty as a picture-sick as a secret
When it's all been said and done it was really glad to meet you
Now go sit in the circle with all the aborted miracles
Once you’re there you will never be seen
Once your there you will never leave

She was a ghost of a girl, A portrait of a lady
The ones that you love they all drive you crazy
And no one ever told me that life could get so lonely
And I don't feel so holy hanging on your cross
I'm checking in and their checking out
Do you think they know what I'm talking about
They will wear your heart out on their sleeve
And when you’re scared of your shadow it really doesn't matter
Cause a heart ain’t worth having when you got no one to hold

Chorus

You only see what you want to see you only believe what you want to believe
It can keep you dry today, Insight what's unseen
You better watch your back they’re coming in from the corners
Just because they had you doesn't mean they own you
So it's time to cut the chords and it's time to have your say
Make it really big in your own special way
I've seen what's been done and I am right by your side
I know you’re not stupid, Just open up your eyes

Chorus

Dig yourself a hole spend the whole year in
I don't know where you stop and where do I begin
You can let your chaos take control
Sometimes you win sometimes you don't
For a minute you're a free spirit and suddenly you're alone
It's been a long time it's been a strange trip
If you knew me way back when you wouldn't give a shit
Cause you don't know the monsters, you don't know the damage
And you don't have the memories that I have

chorus
I'm as Pretty as a Picture-Sick as your Secrets
When it's all been said and done -It was really glad to meet you
Now go sit in the circle with all the aborted miracle
Cause once you're theirs you will never leave
Once your theirs you will never be free

coda
Sunshine You'll be mine
And the stars are falling from Heaven
They’re lighting up your eyes
Sunshine you'll be true
It's not what you did
It's what you didn’t do
