Once I Was Pretty - The Mary Onettes

Everything I've ever done was a part of the ache in me

And the ache in you

Everything we ever knew could brake us easily

So I pretend that I have what it takes

To be a friend to only you but

I couldn't bare to become your choice of younger love

Once I was pretty

I was pretty to anyone

Once you admit it

I am pretty to only you

I think you owe me some recognition again

It doesn't make any sense to me now

And looking back is even worse but

I suppose it was a part of my nature

Everything I've ever done was a part of

Promising you and keeping it true

Everything you've ever said is recorded in my heart

You want to know how it feels now

I'm just older and it feels right

Once I was pretty

I was pretty to anyone

Once you admit it

I am pretty to only you

I think you owe me some recognition again

I consequently choose to hide it

You know it's only our youth we're chasing

Is it only our youth we're chasing

Cause we just won't become the ones we were

Cause we just won't become the ones we were

Once I was pretty

I was pretty to anyone

Once I was pretty

I was pretty to only you

Only you only you only you

Only you only you

I am pretty to only you

I think you owe me some recognition again
