Cover art for Pretty on the Outside lyrics by Bullet for My Valentine

This is what the song means to me

So you wanna play, games with my head? but you make me fall apart, I wish that I was dead I just can't believe I fell for such a blackened heart You played me for a fool and used me from the start. ( This one speaks for it's self. He was played with during the relationship he feels stupid)

Fuck you (fuck you) I just want to know the truth But the words from your mouth they just cloud All the negativity, forces me down into (silence) But still I can pray I wanna know, I wanna know. (She's a liar and he can't tell what's true or not because he's been lied to for so long.)

If I tear you open wide, take a look inside Are you pretty? Can I get inside your mind, see what I can find? Are you pretty? So just take off that disguise, everyone knows that you're only Pretty on the outside. (He's trying to say, If he takes a look inside of her true self it's ugly and not good in other words she's not an angel from the inside but in the outside she looks innocent.)

Now I fucking hate you with all of my heart So just disappear, and never will I fear for my life I just want to be alone And never, no never, will I be unhappy alone I wanna know, I wanna know. (He's better off alone, he doesn't want to see her again he's happier this way.)

I just wanna know the truth (but the words from your mouth) All your negativity (you keep forcing me down) Into silence I can dream (into silence I can dream) Into silence I can dream.

( speaks for it's self he wants to know the truth but all he gets is lies, there isn't any positivity just conflict, when it's quiet there's peace)
