Mike Posner - Pretty Things lyrics

You're pretty like the moon No one can get to you That's lonely but it's true You're pretty like the moon Folk songs and cigarettes You're such a perfect mess You seem so unimpressed You smile when you're depressed But darlin' let me see the scars you're hiding Underneath you're makeup Show me what it is that you're afraid of Why you hide behind your pretty things And don't you know that even roses die And nothing's really made to last forever Even beauty fades, you can't always rely on Pretty things Red wine and vanity Your fashion fantasies That smile can't hide your tears That boy can't hide your fears It's better when it hurts It shows you what it's worth So cue the masquerade Inside your still afraid So darlin' let me see the scars you're hiding Underneath you're makeup Show me what it is that you're afraid of Why you hide behind your pretty things And don't you know that even roses die And nothing really made to last forever Even beauty fades, you can't always rely on Pretty things What goes up, must come down You fly too high, you hit the ground Too many words, they don't explain So we hide behind our pretty things Behind the laughter and behind the smiles I've got my scars that I'm hiding too Show me what your hiding And I'll show you what I'm hiding Behind all my pretty things
