[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
She called me pretty once
I mean she’s gorgeous but that night I was the pretty one
More than important, I was somebody else’s pretty son
Somebody else’s pretty son
She called me pretty to my face
She looked my in eye
She didn’t crack or hesitate
And no matter how hard I try
I can’t forget that I was pretty once
I can’t forget that I was pretty once
[Verse 1: Ajax the Lesser]
I love when I’m not relevant
I love when I’m not relevant
And when I’m out plain sight
Is when i’m really elegant
Thank god I hide from my own image, that gift is heaven sent
But I
Pamper myself when I’m with you
And I can handle myself when you’re in view
I tend to ramble and slip through
Hella facades and fake tributes
I feel when I miss you
[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
She called me pretty once
I mean she’s gorgeous but that night I was the pretty one
More than important, I was somebody else’s pretty son
Somebody else’s pretty son
She called me pretty to my face
She looked my in eye
She didn’t crack or hesitate
And no matter how hard I try
I can’t forget that I was pretty once
I can’t forget that I was pretty once
[Verse 2: Ajax the Lesser]
I hide from mirrors unless they’re your eyes
I’d die to know what it is you see from your side
Show me my worth, please prove it, and make it quantified
Otherwise opinion turn to matter of time
That stands between me and truth
Between me in you
I try to see me in you
Can’t help but feel like when this team seems to cruise
Is when you win or when I speak and then you deem me to lose
Toxic ain’t really cover it
You push my boundaries but that word would always let you recover quick
How can it be abuse if we both know that I’m loving it
I fiend for what we both know ain’t ever coming from another chick
Give me a number, a reference, just give me a word
Something that’s grounded, that you can’t take when you turn
Cause in truth I think without it
I’d doubt the fact that I deserved
Whatever you give, me whenever it hurts
[Chorus: Ajax the Lesser]
She called me pretty once
I mean she’s gorgeous but that night I was the pretty one
More than important, I was somebody else’s pretty son
Somebody else’s pretty son
She called me pretty to my face
She looked my in eye
She didn’t crack or hesitate
And no matter how hard I try
I can’t forget that I was pretty once
I can’t forget that I was pretty once
