Jelly Roll - Unpretty Lyrics



Jelly Roll - Unpretty Lyrics
Official




Been a broken down car on the side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies, I stopped countin'
Tryna walk a straight line felt like trynao move a mountain
And I was prayin' for change, would've died if I'da stayed the same, hm

I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me

Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"

Been the whiskey glass left half empty
Seen the bright lights a few times and that's what saved me
Ain't no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (oh)
With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I'd see the day when I forgive myself and say

"I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty (oh, Lord, I know)
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me"

Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"
Say
"I am (I am) nothin' (nothin') without (without) my sins (my sins)
I can't pretend I'm not all pretty"

I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty

Jelly Roll - Unpretty Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


This song is a heartfelt anthem to regret and loss, as Jelly Roll faces himself and acknowledges that he'll never escape the man he used to be. Nonetheless, his past self is the person who built who he is now, and even though his former self is "unpretty", it's part of who he is now, and by accepting that shadow part of himself, maybe he can move forward and become who he is supposed to be.
