Read the lyric sheet
Intro
The glow is choking out the last real light
Verse 1
Cold coffee stains on yesterday’s flannel shirt Scrolling ghosts of lives that never hurt Smile for the camera, bury the ache so deep One more post, maybe then I won’t feel so cheap
Verse 2
Used to be laughter cracking through the smoke-filled dark Now it’s all perfect angles, scripted from the start Friends turned into content, love just another trend I’m fading in the highlights, can’t remember how to mend
Pre-chorus
Heart screaming under this porcelain skin
Chorus
Take me back to ugly! Back to ugly! Let the real bleed through the cracks we hide Scratched knees, torn shirts, skies dirty not sky blue Back to ugly! Where the pain feels true I don’t want pretty, I just want the ugly you! Back to ugly!
Verse 3
Basement shows where the lost souls swarm No more highlight reels, give me the full damn roll Messy stories that can actually heal the soul
Bridge
What if we never feel alive in this airbrushed hive? What if the mask is all that’s left… and the real us died? I’M DONE HIDING! Give me the dirt! The hurt! The dirt!
Chorus
Take me back to ugly! Scream until our throats are hoarse Break every frame, fuck the perfect course Ugly hearts beating loud in this fucked-up world Back to ugly! Our flags are unfurled! Back to ugly!
Outro
Yeah… back to ugly… where I finally feel
Inside the recording
The glow is choking out the last real light
Heart screaming under this porcelain skin
Yeah… back to ugly… where I finally feel
