Pretty

Coffee and sex, cheap cigarettes
My little fantasy of you and me
We never get

Cinema love
Fit like a glove
You hold me carefully and marry me
White picket fence

But dreams are dreams
The sweetest whispers turn to screams
Meet me at the guillotine
As they put the blade down
Say "I love you" face down

Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
Told me what you wanna give me
But it's better just to let you miss me
I gotta say goodbye
Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty

Can't wash out the bitter taste
Or numb it out with Novocaine
Made me cry, mascara stains
Right before I went on stage
Swear we're rotten to the core
You call me, wake me up at four
To say you love me, love me more
Same breath calling me a whore

Kiss me goodbye when you tie the noose
Those violent eyes give me déjà vu
You'd rather die than let me loose
So I'll cut the rope through

Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
Told me what you wanna give me
But it's better just to let you miss me

I gotta say goodbye
Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty

Dreams are dreams
The sweetest whispers, turn to screams
Meet me at the guillotine
As they put the blade down
Say "I love you" face down

(Kiss me goodbye while you tie the noose, the noose, the noose, ah-ah)
(You'd rather die than let me loose, me loose, me loose, ah-ah)

Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
Told me what you wanna give me
But it's better just to let you miss me

I gotta say goodbye
Happy ever after with me
But it's never really all that pretty
