Pretty from City Living by Rue Snider


It was pretty dark
It was pretty hot
It was pretty obvious my heart needed a shot
Of something other than adrenalin
Of something other than speed
Of something other than alcohol
God, get that away from me


I was reeling from the medicine
I’d been taking every day
Measured out in liquid ounces
In pints and in wine glasses


She was pretty soft
She was pretty kind
She was pretty smiling in the rain walking by my side
She told me I was valuable
She reminded me to breathe
She taught me how to love myself
By the love she showed to me


But I was reeling from the medicine
I was taking every day
Measured out in liquid ounces
In pints and in wine glasses


Now I don’t know
If her pretty face will be near my lips again soon
But I decided to make some changes for myself
They make me happy
God, I really miss her


I was pretty lost
I was pretty fucking high
I was pretty late to realizing it was time
To live life with intention
To to let ambition fill me up
To be happy in the present
Yeah, to admit where I was powerless


To stop reeling from the medicine
I was taking every day
Measured out in liquid ounces
In pints and in wine glasses


Still I don’t know
If her pretty face will be near my lips again soon
But I decided to make some changes for myself
They make me happy
God I really miss her


I don’t know
If her pretty face will be near my lips again soon
But I decided to make some changes for myself
They make me happy
God I really miss her
God I really miss her
God I really miss her right now
