Lyrics for Pretty (Ugly Before)

Sunshine Been keeping me up for days There is no nighttime It's only a passing phase And I feel pretty Pretty enough for you I felt so ugly before I didn't know what to do Sometimes Is all I feel up to now But it's not worth it to you 'Cause you gotta get high somehow Is it destruction that you require to feel? Like somebody wants you Someone that's more for real Sunshine Been keeping me up for days There is no nighttime Only a passing phase And I'll feel pretty Another hour or two I felt so ugly before (ugly before) I didn't know what to do I felt so ugly before (ugly before) I didn't know what to do I felt so ugly before (ugly before) I didn't know what to do Ugly before (ugly before) Ohh...
