Ugly Side

[Verse 1]

You could tell me I'm a loser, it happens all the time

You could curse me out in anger, yeah you could set me right

I bet you practice all those faces you use to get you by

Let's have a reckless conversation, but don't try not to cry

I'm just asking if I could see you

[Verse 2]

I took your palm and read it clearly, explaining every line

But I don't think you took me seriously, still I took my sweet time

'Cause I wish this could last forever

Sitting here with your hand in mine

I told you I saw us together

I never told you that I lied

[Refrain]

Oooh, show me your ugly side

Oooh, and I will show you mine

Oooh, so we don't waste our time

Show me your ugly side

[Verse 3]

I don't know, maybe you're perfect, at least you fooled my friends

If it's a spell, hey well, it's working, let me know when your shift ends

And I'll show up, arm tucking roses, that I'll lie and say I bought

And when you get home, please ignore that they're missing from your lawn

[Pre-Chorus]

You called my bluff, I got defensive

Although I kinda hoped you would

I sat there breathing in the tension

Oh, and god it felt so good

[Refrain]

Oooh, show me your ugly side

Oooh, and I will show you mine

Oooh, so we don't waste our time

Show me your ugly side

[Bridge]

I was cold and inattentive, barely in the room

I was coddled, I was fenced in, hardly thanks to you

I guess I've never known the real thing, I've never cared to look

I swear I tried but something scared me

And I guess that's all it took

To run away so fucking fast I didn't check the road

Or watch for potholes in the asphalt, I fell and broke my nose

Now I've been breathing through a bandage

In a sore, familiar place

I wore the glove 'cause hell, my hand fit

I broke my nose to spite my face

[Refrain]

Oooh, show me your ugly side

Oooh, and I will show you mine

Oooh, so we don't waste our time

Show me your ugly side
