Unpretty Jelly Roll

Been a broken-down car on a side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week
Hmm
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
♪
So many lies I start counting
Trying to walk a straight line felt like trying to move a mountain
And I was praying for change
Would've died if I had stayed the same
Hmm
♪
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, looking at my past
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was, was wrong
But he's the one who built me
Said, I am nothing without my sins
I can't pretend
I'm not unpretty
♪
Been the whiskey glass left half-empty
Seen the bright lights a few times, and that's what saved me
Ain't no stranger to pain
The ones who love me all feel the same
♪
With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that
Oh, I never thought I'd see the day
When I'd forgive myself and say
♪
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, looking at my past
I know it's unpretty (Oh, Lord, I know)
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was, was wrong
But he's the one who built me
Said, I am nothing without my sins
I can't pretend
I'm not unpretty
