Pretty Little Funeral [Intro] Dress me in black with a smile so sweet Put flowers around me, make it look complete Watch them arrive with their sorrow on cue Everybody crying like they always knew [Verse 1] They blow out candles, they make a wish Talk about the girl they supposedly miss They tell little stories, they laugh, they cry Then check their reflection as they walk by I gave them my heart, I gave them my time They took what they wanted and called it mine Now they’re standing around my grave Acting like angels, pretending they’re brave [Pre-Chorus] Kisses on my coffin Flowers on my grave Words that sound so beautiful But they’re much too late [Chorus] Welcome to my pretty little funeral Dressed up in pity, acting beautiful Clutching your pearls while you sip champagne Telling everybody you remember my name Welcome to my pretty little funeral I’m the dead girl that you love to talk about You can cry your tears, you can play your part But you never cared when you broke my heart [Verse 2] They say I was troubled They say I was lost They talk about everything But never the cost They tell everyone I couldn’t cope Then congratulate themselves for giving me hope But I remember every word that they said Every door they closed, every tear that I shed [Fast Rap — The Dead Girl] Oh, you thought that it was over? Thought I’d rot and turn to dust? Now I’m watching how you move And I know who I can trust Where were you when I needed you? Where were you when I cried? Where were you when I begged you To stand here by my side? Now you’re wearing black And you’re calling me a friend Funny how your loyalty Appeared when I reached the end Keep your flowers, keep your tears Keep your speeches, I’ve heard them for years You wanted a funeral? Fine, let’s make it grand But don’t you dare pretend you ever held my hand I’m the ghost inside the room I’m the whisper in your ear And every lie you tell tonight I’m going to make you hear [Bridge] They lower me down Into the ground The music gets quieter There isn’t a sound Then someone whispers: “She deserved better.” And suddenly… They all know. [Final Chorus] Welcome to my pretty little funeral Dressed up in pity, acting beautiful Clutching your pearls while you sip champagne Telling everybody you remember my name Welcome to my pretty little funeral I’m the dead girl that you love to talk about You can cry your tears, you can play your part But I can see right through your heart [Outro] The flowers will fade The candles will die The guests will go home And stop asking why I was never the dead girl. I was only pretending. Thanks for coming to my funeral.
