[Verse 1] They say “You’re such a pretty mess” Like it’s something I should accept Tight-lipped smile Pressure in my chest Try to be what they expect I hide my feelings out of sight Hold them in with all my might Tell the mirror “Say it straight” But she just tells me I’m not right [Chorus] I’m an ugly little miracle You can stare You can stare Write me off as hysterical I don’t care I don’t care I won’t wash out I’m smoke In your air In your air I’m an ugly little miracle Say a prayer Say a prayer [Verse 2] Doctor scribbles on a pad Like he’s editing my soul Little pills Big promises “Just behave and you’ll be whole” Mom says “Can’t you just relax? Other girls don’t talk like this” I tried to fit that smaller skin It split right down my wrists [Chorus] I’m an ugly little miracle You can stare You can stare Write me off as hysterical I don’t care I don’t care I won’t wash out I’m smoke In your air In your air I’m an ugly little miracle Say a prayer Say a prayer [Bridge] I’m too loud Till I’m too quiet You love my spark Till I start a riot You bless the bruise Then blame the scar You call it “phase” I call it “war” You want me healed But never whole You want my body Not my soul [Chorus] I’m an ugly little miracle You can stare You can stare Write me off as hysterical I don’t care I don’t care I won’t wash out I’m smoke In your air In your air I’m an ugly little miracle Say a prayer Say a prayer [Outro] So here I am Wrong on purpose Sharp and scared Still at the surface If I don’t fit Your pretty script Watch me bite Through every bit
