pretty in pain

i don't know how i got here

but i'm here

i don't know what i'm here for

but this is clear

some mountains have to be climbed

some mountains have to be moved

how does the heart go wrong

when you give it all you got

give it all you got

i know you're already gone

but i'm trying

i'm tryin' to hold on

i can make up a smile

fool the crowd for a while

but the tears they've left a stain

i would stay if i could

try to make it look good

but it's hard to be pretty in pain

it's a vicious circle

for only a few

some of the wisest people

don't have a clue

some bridges are

meant to be crossed

some bridges are meant

to be burned

how does the heart go wrong

when you give it all you got

give it all you got

i know you're already gone

but i'm trying

i'm tryin' to hold on

i can make up a smile

fool the crowd for a while

but the tears they've left a stain

i would stay if i could

try to make it look good

but it's hard to be pretty in pain

lovin' you baby is the cross i bear

you walk away and

leave me hangin' up there

i dress my tears in faithful grace

but you can see the heart

breakin' my face

i would stay if i could

try to make it look good

but it's hard it's so hard

i can make up a smile

fool the crowd for a while

but the tears they've left a stain

i would stay if i could

try to make it look good

but it's hard to be

hard to be

so hard to be pretty in pain
