PRETTY THINGS
Music and Lyrics by Christina Martin (2002)

Look deep inside
You have never gotten over the pain
Look into yourself
You can’t live without the shame, it hangs with the night
I will try to find the words
To ease your constant ache, like a ghost in love
But I don’t want to go, back to yesterday

CHORUS
To forgive you’ve got to remember
Then to live you’ve got to let go
Oh, hold on to the pretty things
Of love… of love.

I can’t wait for us to be
Older and wiser, not so quick to despise love
Caught in this chase
In this civilized maze we’ll ponder our whole lives
Deaths over your shoulder
He’s pushing you forward
no time to look back
But I don’t wanna go back to yesterday

To forgive you’ve got to remember
Then to live you’ve got to let go
Oh, hold on to the pretty things
Of love… of love.

Its all that I can give
I’ve pushed myself to live
This life of constant yearning
Its all that I can give
You’ll find there’s something more than this
I hope to see you come on over child now
Don’t you weep you’re only starting to breakthrough

To forgive you’ve got to remember
Then to live you’ve got to let go
Oh, hold on to the pretty things
Of love … of love
