Lyrics

Pretty When I'm Sad

[Verse 1]

Oh no, you lost me now

I hang on every word then I tune you out

Then I remember why I hate you

Thought you knew what I was about

While I'm planning all the different ways to take you down

Mess with me and face impending doom

[Pre-Chorus]

You took me on

What were you on?

What were you thinking?

You took me on

What were you on?

What were you thinking?

[Chorus]

'Cause you're pretty when you're mad

And I'm pretty when I'm sad

So, let's fuck around inside each other's heads

Let's fuck around inside

'Cause you're pretty when you're mad

And I'm pretty when I'm sad

So, let's fuck around inside each other's heads

Let's fuck around inside each other's heads

[Verse 2]

Look away, I'm breaking down

You can never see a queen without her crown

But sometimes it's put up on her mantle

But I still will always push through

There's not a single obstacle to make me lose

Not much in life that I can't handle

[Pre-Chorus]

You took me on

What were you on?

What were you thinking?

You took me on

What were you on?

What were you thinking?

[Chorus]

'Cause you're pretty when you're mad

And I'm pretty when I'm sad

So, let's fuck around inside each other's heads

Let's fuck around inside

'Cause you're pretty when you're mad

And I'm pretty when I'm sad

So, let's fuck around inside each other's heads

Let's fuck around inside each other's heads

[Outro]

You took me on

What were you on?

What were you thinking?

You took me on

What were you on?

What were you thinking?
