Is It Coz I'm Not Pretty? - Helen Greatorex (book club reads TXT) 📗

Don’t wanna shut the world out today,
But life seems to be getting in the way
And I don’t get, why you take a bet,
And gamble on a heart, that is already bruised.

I guess when your stuck, coz your hearts in your head,
And she’s all you see, Oh how I wish it was me.

Is it coz I’m not pretty
I don’t look cool and I’m no flirt
If I wasn’t me, then maybe I wouldn’t get hurt.
It’s funny how sunny it can be, before it starts to rain.
But I will hold my head up high; take a long breath and sigh, Chorus
Coz I’m Brave and I’m scared, in fact I’m terrified
I’m strong as a rock, I’m weak then I’m not,
I’m happy, I’m sad; I’m crazy and confused.

I get all mixed up too you know, I know, u do to, I understand,
But at least I know who I am, and I know what I got,
I know who I am, and I know who I’m not.

Don’t wanna shut the world out today,
I know life keeps on going anyway,
I sometimes wish that I could morph, into someone else’s shoes,
Then maybe I wouldn’t have, broken hearted blues,
But you can’t play pretend coz you will always loose.
But tell me, coz I want to know the truth...

Chorus
An’ it’s funny how sunny it can get, before it pours with rain and you get wet!
