Pretty Things Lyrics

I have developed beauty marks over the years
I notice them when I’m with you
A deeper thing that surfaces the more I know myself
The more I understand
The more I try

Pretty things are what we like to be
I would like to surrender to beauty
I am a fool
The kind that everybody wants to be
‘Cause I have you
I am a fool
I’ve fallen fast and hard because of you
You make me feel…
So beautiful

The surface of a face is such a surface thing to view
The years of life are not enough
It doesn’t show the inner part of someone who can laugh
The more I know myself
The more I cry
Pretty things are what we want to be
I would like to surrender to beauty

Chorus

Pretty things are what we try to be
I would like to surrender to beauty

Chorus

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
