Ugly Side

[Verse 1]
You could tell me I'm a loser, it happens all the time
You could curse me out in anger, yeah you could set me right
I bet you practice all those faces you use to get you by
Let's have a reckless conversation, but don't try not to cry
I'm just asking if I could see you

[Verse 2]
I took your palm and read it clearly, explaining every line
But I don't think you took me seriously, still I took my sweet time
'Cause I wish this could last forever
Sitting here with your hand in mine
I told you I saw us together
I never told you that I lied

[Refrain]
Oooh, show me your ugly side
Oooh, and I will show you mine
Oooh, so we don't waste our time
Show me your ugly side

[Verse 3]
I don't know, maybe you're perfect, at least you fooled my friends
If it's a spell, hey well, it's working, let me know when your shift ends
And I'll show up, arm tucking roses, that I'll lie and say I bought
And when you get home, please ignore that they're missing from your lawn

[Pre-Chorus]
You called my bluff, I got defensive
Although I kinda hoped you would
I sat there breathing in the tension
Oh, and god it felt so good

[Refrain]
Oooh, show me your ugly side
Oooh, and I will show you mine
Oooh, so we don't waste our time
Show me your ugly side

[Bridge]
I was cold and inattentive, barely in the room
I was coddled, I was fenced in, hardly thanks to you
I guess I've never known the real thing, I've never cared to look
I swear I tried but something scared me

And I guess that's all it took
To run away so fucking fast I didn't check the road
Or watch for potholes in the asphalt, I fell and broke my nose
Now I've been breathing through a bandage
In a sore, familiar place
I wore the glove 'cause hell, my hand fit
I broke my nose to spite my face

[Refrain]
Oooh, show me your ugly side
Oooh, and I will show you mine
Oooh, so we don't waste our time
Show me your ugly side
