i looked pretty. Lyrics by Annie LeMasters

Cough Syrup

2024

[Verse 1]
I don’t have confession, I have records
Of everyone who’s better than you were
Sundays tend to haunt me
It’s just something about their character
You were just a guy but my affinity for pedestals runs deep
I know I could lie and say I never think of you
But I’m so sure you think of me
[Chorus]
There’s no way I looked pretty
While you touched me like that
Open mouthed, and lapse in judgment
And as I’m looking back
Nothing ever came of it
And you will say that it was for the bit
So what a worthless circumstance to be in
There’s no way I looked pretty
And I’m so glad, so glad
I couldn’t see it
[Verse 2]
I know I know better
But the letter of the law made you forbidden
So your no touching sign to me
Was like a woman with an apple tree
And I held on to you
To numb the pain of living
[Chorus]
There’s no way I looked pretty
While you touched me like that
Open mouthed, and lapse in judgment
And as I’m looking back
Nothing ever came of it
And you will say that it was for the bit
So what a worthless circumstance to be in
There’s no way I looked pretty
And I’m so glad, so glad
I couldn’t see it
[Bridge]
And I talked to John
He says “You’re not a bad guy”
And he’s not wrong
But there’s something about you and I, turn me on
But you never finished me off
At all, at all
And I talked to Will
Show him I rated you low, mediocre skills
In the front seat of your mother’s Lincoln
I’d kill to go back in time
To stop, to stop, stop
But you never finished me off
You never finished me off
[Chorus]
There’s no way I looked pretty
While you touched me like that
Open mouthed, and lapse in judgment
And as I’m looking back
Nothing ever came of it
And you will say that it was for the bit
So what a worthless circumstance to be in
But I just know I looked pretty
And you’re lucky, you’re lucky
You got to see it
