Pretty Girl Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Polaroid of you dancing in my room
I want to remember
I think it was about noon
It's getting harder to understand, to understand
How you felt in my hands (in my hands)
[Hook]
I could be a pretty girl
I'll wear a skirt for you
I could be a pretty girl
Shut up when you want me to
I could be a pretty girl
Won't ever make you blue
I could be a pretty girl
I'll lose myself in you
[Verse 2]
I was so blinded by you, now I cry
Just thinking 'bout the fool that I was
I was such a fool!
I'm alone now but it's better for me
I don't need all your negativity
[Hook]
I could be a pretty girl
I'll wear a skirt for you
I could be a pretty girl
Shut up when you want me to
I could be a pretty girl
Won't ever make you blue
I could be a pretty girl
I'll lose myself in you
Polaroid of you dancing in my room
I want to remember
I think it was about noon
It's getting harder to understand, to understand
How you felt in my hands (in my hands)
I could be a pretty girl
I'll wear a skirt for you
I could be a pretty girl
Shut up when you want me to
I could be a pretty girl
Won't ever make you blue
I could be a pretty girl
I'll lose myself in you
I was so blinded by you, now I cry
Just thinking 'bout the fool that I was
I was such a fool!
I'm alone now but it's better for me
I don't need all your negativity
I could be a pretty girl
I'll wear a skirt for you
I could be a pretty girl
Shut up when you want me to
I could be a pretty girl
Won't ever make you blue
I could be a pretty girl
I'll lose myself in you

The song is about a past romantic relationship and how the singer was deeply in love with the person but now regrets it. A Polaroid of the person they were in love with dancing in their room opens the song. Although they would like to remember this moment, it's getting increasingly difficult to do so.
The singer then talks about how they could be a "pretty girl". This shows their desire to change or conform to someone else's expectations or ideals in the past. The song repeatedly mentions wearing a skirt, keeping quiet, not turning the other person blue, and losing themselves in them, all of which imply making a sacrifice in order to win over another person.
The singer then considers how foolish their earlier actions and decisions were. They admit that their love for the other person made them blind, and they express regret over the choices they made. Now, they have a desire to end the relationship, implying that being alone is better than dealing with the negativity associated with it.
