Jelly Roll - Unpretty (Lyrics)

Jelly Roll - Unpretty (Lyrics)
#jellyroll #lyricsedit

[Verse 1]
Been a broken-down car on a side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm
I was prayin' for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies, I stopped countin'
Tryin' to walk a straight line felt like tryin' to move a mountain
And I was prayin' for change, would've died if I'd've stayed the same, hm

[Chorus]
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me

[Post-Chorus]
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty"

[Verse 2]
Been the whiskey glass left half-empty
Seen the bright lights a few times and that's what saved me
Ain't no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (Oh)
With every one step forward, fell ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I'd see the day when I forgive myself and say

[Chorus]
"I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty (Oh Lord, I know)
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me"

[Post-Chorus]
Say
"I am nothin' without my sins
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty"
Say
"I am (I am) nothin' (Nothin') without (Without) my sins (My sins)
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty"

[Outro]
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, lookin' at my past
I know it's unpretty

Sober 5 months after 20 yr addiction. This song explains the pain. I’m so sorry to all my loved ones.

Those LYRICS hit hard i cant related to a few of jelly roll lyrics ❤

[nica]

Man this song hits me so hard. My past doesn't have anything to do with drugs but I lived a hard life. I made the changes that I need to make in life is so much easier now but boy my past my sins is what made me who I am today. I'm so happy that he came out with this song that so many people can relate to not only in the same way but also in different ways.

This song has finally got me to forgive myself and accept me for me, THNX JELLY ROLL, for giving me, me back to myself, GODbless you

22 years 3 months and 3 weeks clean. I hate the man I used to be but he will always be a part of me. But I use that as my testimony to try and help others.

[jennieutting]

This song hits hard. We cant change the past... As much as we might want to.... But we can work on fixing our tomorrow. Its not easy & it wont be plain sailing, but together, we can do it x

Disabled people often feel Unpretty.
Bare with me I'm a work in progress. Day 10, 711 or 29 years 3 months and 27 Days exactly without alcohol.

Right now looking at my past
I know its unpretty
Can't hide the pain
That I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos

I feel as though it is to late for me . I'm 55 and started drinking at 16 . How I'm alive I don't know . Ptsd, anxiety and severe depression . I am on mental disability . Meds is a bandaid not a cure . I am ready to give up and face my destiny . I love these songs but I am still unpretty . Scotty from Alabama
