Lyrics by Kenton Hall
Music by Kenton Hall, Mark Haynes & Chris Ilett

lyrics

I used to be pretty
I think that I... used to be pretty
There was a time, had I been inclined
I could have flaunted my visage with pride
But here past my prime
I'm unjustly maligned
Now my exterior fits my insides
Cause I used to be pretty
I think

I used to be wanted
I hope that I... used to be wanted
Sometimes it slips to the back of my mind
Those fingertips tracing the length of my spine
The pause at the tripwire
The leap to the mine
Lips stumbling over each quotable line
Because I used to be wanted
I hope

I used to be everything to someone else
Never cared too much for myself

I used to be someone
I swear that I used to be someone
But I grasped at a fame I was never allowed
Sidestepped the blame and reviled the crowd
Made my grand claims with my head in the clouds
Sullied the named that they’ve forgotten now
Because I used to be someone
I used to be wanted
And I used to be pretty
I think
