It’s Not Pretty To Be Crazy
[Verse]
I like to keep my heart suspended
Over the fires never endin'
And a tightrope act without a net
Is all I walk, ready, set...
Go
[Verse]
I like to put my heart up on a ledge
Of splintering earth on the edge
Faltering with the slightest wind gust
Actin' all surprised when I fall to worse rocks
[Bridge]
Can't be lonely, keep your dyin'
Change the skin and I'm left cryin'
Holler like a seashell grasp for love and empty reach-outs
[Chorus]
Why are you pretending that you're gonna run off crying
If he doesn't look your way
And if he did and he was what you thought
What would you say and
Even if he wanted you you'd just drive him away
'cause you come on too fast
And it's not pretty to be crazy
[Verse]
I keep my heart on the line of empty broken bottles
I couldn't help but shoot them all down
Insane how much a mind can change in an instant
I wasn't cut out for painting the town
[Bridge]
And soon they're gonna call me lady
And I'm still driving alone late, see
You didn't want to be my baby
And I'm not sorry but I may be
A little bit crazy
[Chorus]
Why are you pretending that you're gonna run off cryin'
If he doesn't say your name and
Tell you all that he was
Was a little bit drunk okay
And even if he tried to
You won't take what he explains
'cause you overthink things
And it's not pretty to be crazy
[Chorus]
Why am I pretending that I'm gonna run off cryin'
When he doesn't look my way
When she will look in my eyes, sincerely apologize, hey
And I know he won't even try to
'cause that was two years back anyway
And I only remember because I'm crazy
[Refrain]
But I have to remember
It's not pretty to be crazy
