You were pretty

You were pretty until I saw the way
Your eyes swelled when you cried,
And you were pretty until I heard
How you stuttered your goodbyes.

You were pretty until I saw the way
You lock your doors at night,
And you were pretty until I knew
You never felt quite right.

You were pretty until I heard
Your hearts empty plea
But then you weren't
Pretty anymore

You were beautiful to me
