[Verse 1]
I been thinkin’ lately
Bout the shape of my scars
How the hurt made lines
In the map of my heart
I used to fold up
When the night got loud
Now I stand in the mess
And I breathe it out
Small hands, big weight
Still I carry it slow
Got a few rough edges
But I let them show
I don’t hide the cracks
I don’t chase the mask
I’m learning how to live
Without running back
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to move with care
Less rush, more truth
Let the heavy fall
Let the soft stay new
I’m not there yet
But I’m on my way
Every little step
Feels like I’m okay
[Chorus]
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I feel good, I feel good
When I let it rain
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I want to be mindful
And stay in my lane
[Verse 2]
I watch my thoughts pass by
Like cars on the road
Not every one of them
Has to take control
I’m learning peace
In the middle of noise
Finding my center
In a shaky voice
If I stumble, let me
Stumble with grace
If I fall apart
Let me know my place
Not below the floor
Not above the sky
Right here in the moment
With my open eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
I want to move with care
Less rush, more truth
Let the heavy fall
Let the soft stay new
I’m not there yet
But I’m on my way
Every little step
Feels like I’m okay
[Chorus]
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I feel good, I feel good
When I let it rain
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I want to be mindful
And stay in my lane
[Bridge]
If my mind gets wild
I won’t call it home
I can let it pass
I can let it go
I’ve been bruised before
Still I bloom in place
There’s a softer me
Under all this weight
[Final Chorus]
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I feel good, I feel good
When I let it rain
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I want to be mindful
And stay in my lane
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I feel good, I feel good
Yeah, I’m here again
Prettier through the pain
(Prettier through the pain)
I want to be mindful
And stay in my lane
