Why Lyrics by Rivals

Sad Looks Pretty On Me

2021

[Verse 1]
Everything comes, and everything goes
Lust can be strong when you're all alone
Hope it hurts when I hang up the phone
'Cause I tend to come and I tend to go

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn it down, devil is my crown
God, why am I like this?
Heartless mind, I fuck it up every time, oh

[Chorus]
God, why am I like this?
Tell me why I'm like this
Painted the sky as black as night
Just so he'll never see me cry
God, why am I like this?
Tell me why I'm like this

[Verse 2]
I hate to say that you're trapped in my pain (Oh, oh)
'Cause all of my pain I'vе stored in your waist
Don't get too close, I'll brеak all your bones
(I'll break, I'll break your bones)
Why am I so happy being so alone?

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn it down, devil is my crown
God, why am I like this?
Heartless mind, I fuck it up every time, oh

[Chorus]
God, why am I like this?
Tell me why I'm like this
Painted the sky as black as night
Just so he'll never see me cry
God, why am I like this?
Tell me why I'm like this

[Bridge]
(Woah, woah, oh)
(Woah, woah, oh)
Why do we break our hearts?
(Woah, woah, oh)
(Woah, woah, oh)
Hide my tears from the world and you
(Woah, woah, oh)
(Woah, woah, oh)
Do you think I'll see the stars?
(Woah, woah, oh)
(Woah, woah, oh)
What can I do?
I just hope that I find my peace
I've been praying the best for you
I know we weren't a masterpiece
So I guess that means we're finally through

[Chorus]
God, why am I like this? (Tell me why, tell me why)
Tell me why I'm like this (Tell me please, forgive me)
Painted the sky as black as night
Just so he'll never see me cry (Cry)
God, why am I like this?
Tell me why I'm like this

[Outro]
Faded into night
I said I loved him, and that was a lie
Bright as day
I guess this is my way to say goodbye
