Pretty Little Things

from Petal Lines EP by Lyra Jo

	/

lyrics

had a glass of wine
is it such a problem
to want to do more
i'm headed for the issue
to work for something
that may open penniless doors

now I'm taking out frustrations on people i love
i want to hide the anger
but i suck at covering up

money is the answer they say
and money solves the question they say

pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough to fill the hollow sound
pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough
to compare to the light in your eyes
the light in your eyes

had a cup of coffee
the people that can help you
slowly drifting away
i'm walking into silence
expectations of previous
dreams running away

so i hold tight and i'll fight
cause i don't want to settle
it doesn't feel right

money is the answer they say
money solves the question they say

pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough
to fill the hollow sound
pretty little things
will sparkle and shine
they'll never be bright enough
to compare to the light in your eyes
the light in your eyes
the light in your eyes
