[Verse 1] Ask me how I’m doing Wait until the camera’s on Funny how the honest answer Always takes a little long I can give you devastation In a key that’s easy to sing Put a little gloss around it Now it doesn’t hurt a thing [Pre-Chorus] I know the arrangement I know what you came to see Take something ugly Make it look good on me [Chorus] Make it pretty when it hurts Put a rhythm on the worst If I’m breaking, keep it catchy Give the crying better words Turn the wreckage into glitter Turn the bruise into a light Everybody loves a tragedy If you package it right Make it pretty Make it pretty I’ll be fine [Verse 2] Tell you something I survived Watch it travel through the room By tomorrow it’s a caption By the weekend it’s perfume Maybe I should hate the cycle Maybe I should shut it down But I learned what pain is worth When everybody comes around [Pre-Chorus] I know the arrangement Smile before the melody You want something honest Just not inconveniently [Chorus] Make it pretty when it hurts Put a rhythm on the worst If I’m breaking, keep it catchy Give the crying better words Turn the wreckage into glitter Turn the bruise into a light Everybody loves a tragedy If you package it right Make it pretty Make it pretty I’ll be fine [Post-Chorus] Ooh Look how good it hurts Ooh Give them what they came for [Bridge] Here’s the part where I confess I like it when you listen I hate becoming entertainment But I love becoming witnessed Maybe you don’t make the monster Maybe neither do I Maybe we just feed each other And call it being alive [Break] One more take Fix my face Count me in [Final Chorus] Don’t make it pretty when it hurts Let the silence hit you first If I’m breaking, let it happen Don’t go looking for the verse Leave the wreckage where you found it Leave the bruise without a light Maybe you can love the person When there’s nothing left to buy Don’t make it pretty Don’t make it pretty Let it be mine [Outro] Ask me how I’m doing Leave the camera off this time
