So Pretty When You're Mean #

Kate made a point of stressing that this song was about an abusive relationship during a season one episode.
Lyrics #
It’s been said that I’m
Wasting all of my time
Counting on my hands and feet
Every loving word you said to me
I might be able to get
Some other man to ease my frets
I would rather be your step stool
Than some other man’s collie
You’re too beautiful for pictures
Too beautiful for me
With your lily white complexion
And your vibrant eyes of green
Too beautiful for sorrow
Pitty’s not really your scene
Mercy’s never been your color
So pretty when you’re mean
So pretty when you’re mean
The expression on your face
Says you wanna state your case
That I’m testing all my limits
And you’re taking all the blame
You might not be the bad guy
But turns out neither am I
Destroying one another
Bombing our hearts into flame
You’re too beautiful for pictures
Too beautiful for me
With your lily white complexion
And your apparent eyes of green
Mercy’s never been your color
So pretty when you’re mean
So pretty when you’re mean
I had to take the time to say
That I am happy with our ways
And I hope you feel the same
Seeing me
At the end of the day
And I love you with
All my heart and
Several other
Body parts
And when I stop you always stop but
You still have my heart to break
You’re too beautiful for pictures
Too beautiful for me
With your lily white complexion
And your apparent eyes of green
Mercy’s never been your color
So pretty when you’re mean
So pretty when you’re mean
So pretty when you’re mean
So pretty when you’re mean
So pretty
When you’re
Mean.
