Pretty Things - Tony Lucca

Black night sky before you said goodbye

Your rose colored sash and your cigarette ash

You left with your girlfriends before I made amends

Fourteen days of pouring rain

Drips through the cracks around your window pane

Filled up the holes wearing layers of your clothes

And on the tags you wrote my name

Why can’t you make up your mind, this time?

I’ve been reading all the letters that you wrote me

And all the fairy tales you sold me

And all the pretty things you said

I can’t stop thinking about the way that you control me

And now you wish you’d never known me

Oh how I wish you’d come and hold me, hold me, hold me

I was staying at your house and you’ve been sleeping at his

You’re acting like momma to both his kids

Got a two car garage, backyard that don’t end and you’re my only friend

When the sun goes down this old house gets dark

It’s hard to paint a portrait of my broken heart

I pick this up and the room fell right back apart

And now I don’t know where to start

Now that you’ve made up your mind this time…

I’ve been reading all the letters that you wrote me

And all the fairy tales you sold me

And all the pretty things you said

I can’t stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me

And now you wish you’d never known me

How I wish you’d come and hold me, hold me, hold me

There is no beginning

Do you think that you’re winning, you’ve made up your mind

Why don’t you make up the mind?

I’ve been reading all the letter that you wrote me

All the fairy tales you sold me

And all about the pretty things you said

I can’t stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me

And you wish you’d never known me

And I’ve been sleeping in the place that you left me, do you regret me?

Did you forget me?

I can’t stop thinking 'bout the way that you control me

How you wish you’d never known me.

how I wish you’d come and hold me, hold me,

hold me
