Lyrics
Like an animal desperate to survive
Struggling with neglect and slight
The tantrums you throw to
Secure a new coat
The swift, indifferent way you strike
Try to make yourself pretty
Isn’t she pretty
Beautiful
Prettiest girl in the
Whole wide world
Isn’t she pretty
Beautiful
Try to make yourself pretty
The last ditch weapon you
Scorned to use
How lucky to exist
Why’d it have to be like this
Why’d it have to be like this
Determined like a dog
To get the food you need
Your wakefulness for fear
Of an attack when you’re asleep
All those years you wept for
All those things you never had
And couldn’t keep
Of course you fought and screamed
Try to make yourself pretty
Isn’t she pretty
Beautiful
Prettiest girl in the
Whole wide world
Isn’t she pretty
Beautiful
Try to make yourself pretty
The last ditch weapon you
Scorned to use
How lucky to exist
Why’d it have to be like this
Why’d it have to be like this
My kindness didn’t come naturally
Caressing never done automatically
If I didn’t think to pay attention
I’d simply forget to mention
Let alone include
Little you
Strike me, conscience, down
Strike me, conscience, down
Why’d it have to be like this
Why’d it have to be like this
Grin now again
Glare now again
Furious, amused and sick
Grin now again
Glare now again
Fight ’til that tiny heart’s final tick
Are you not afraid
No, you’re not afraid
What’s worse to fear than not being wanted
How lucky to exist
Why’d it have to be like this
Why’d it have to be like this
Lipstick like a fist
Pressed into a kiss
In a lonely friendless world
In a lonely friendless world
