Ugly Side

(альбом: Sonder - 2022)

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 can see you

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

Oh, show me your ugly side
Oh, and I will show you mine
Oh, so we don't waste our time
Show me your ugly side

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

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
Oh, show me your ugly side
Oh, and I will show you mine
Oh, so we don't waste our time
Show me your ugly side

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 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, 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

Oh, show me your ugly side
Oh, and I will show you mine
Oh, so we don't waste our time
Show me your ugly side
