i wanna be pretty for you, even when my mascara runs down my cheeks and my lipstick is smeared and when my hair is tangled and when my eyes are bloodshot and i'm drunk out of my mind and calling for you, mumbling and screaming your name at the top of my lungs and when i smoke my first cigarette and the smoke that comes out of my mouth looks so much like you and the nicotine runs through my veins and the smoke clogs my lungs just like you did and when i look in the bathroom mirror, and i see you in my eyes and i start crying even though i hate crying over you and i just wanna be pretty enough for you, love.

pretty enough
i wanna be pretty for you, even when my mascara runs down my cheeks and my lipstick is smeared and when my hair is tangled and when my eyes are bloodshot and i'm drunk out of my mind and calling for you, mumbling and screaming your name at the top of my lungs and when i smoke my first cigarette and the smoke that comes out of my mouth looks so much like you and the nicotine runs through my veins and the smoke clogs my lungs just like you did and when i look in the bathroom mirror, and i see you in my eyes and i start crying even though i hate crying over you and i just wanna be pretty enough for you, love.
