Jelly Roll Unpretty Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been a broken-down car on a side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm
I was prayin' for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies, I stopped countin'
Tryin' to walk a straight line felt like tryin' to move a mountain
And I was prayin' for change, would've died if I'd've stayed the same, hm

[Chorus]
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me
[Post-Chorus]
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty"

[Verse 2]
Been the whiskey glass left half-empty
Seen the bright lights a few times and that's what saved me
Ain't no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (Oh) With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I'd see the day when I forgive myself and say

[Chorus]
"I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty (Oh Lord, I know)
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me"

[Post-Chorus]
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty"
Say
"I am (I am) nothin' (Nothin') without (Without) my sins (My sins)
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty"
[Outro]
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
