Ian Anderson (The Designers Republic) - Pretty Gardens lyrics

[Verse 1] Here I am, as you made me, telling barefaced lies Look at me all naked, I let my pretty garden grow wild It's free to look upon me, and see the tears I cried This is me with no makeup, falling like a fool out of pride [Interlude] You need to like an asymmetric body You're smiling at my crooked smile I never thought that I was perfect in the f**ing first place I'm alright in your eyes [Verse 2] I just want you to look upon me, and see the good inside What do you see when you look upon me, telling barefaced lies? Naturally I'm not a blondie, not every hair is dyed [Chorus 1] All stripped back Bare, clean scrubbed face Sliding out of place You made me feel I could be an honest la** Just like in the past [Verse 3] Any lingering doubt 'bout your love is just irrelevant now At the worst of my worst you didn't leave me, are all my imperfections allowed? You're a fool to always forgive me, and see the good inside It's cruel to make you feel guilty, when I let my pretty garden grow wild [Chorus 2] Told barefaced lies Tried to hide behind the dishonesties Made a mockery when my life is blessed With a lazy eye and a crooked smile These things now are superfluous, would be perfectless Looking straight at me, there's no symmetry Even getting dressed There's a lazy eye So I'll be brave, I'll stay here to face myself Looking straight at me, there's no symmetry There's a lazy eye, and a crooked smile No artifice to this, just an honest kiss Looking straight at me, there's no symmetry There's a lazy eye, and a crooked smile
