lyrics

I'm one of Monet's Water Lilies
From afar I'm okay
But when you get near me
You can see I'm just brushstrokes
Loosely held together
Putting up a façade
That I'm something better

I'm a mess, I'll confess
Hold my hands
Take off my dress
And see what a mess I really am for you
I want to know that you're a mess, too

Sunburn on my face
And bandages on my ankles
To cover up the blisters
From my new tennis shoes

Chipping nail polish on all my toes
I'm a trainwreck
Yet, somehow I'm the one you chose

I'm one of Degas' Ballerinas
Chaotic beauty, but far from prima
In the limelight, pretty pirouetting
But Impressionism can give the wrong impression

Black stains down my cheeks
From my mascara, crying
But, babe, if you're the painter
I can be your muse

And you can be my saving grace
Learn my body 'til you can place
All my tan lines
And my tattoos

I'm a train wreck
Yet somehow I'm the one you chose

I'm one of Monet's Water Lilies
I'm one of Degas' Ballerinas
Black stains on my face and bandages on my ankles

Beautiful disaster
Beautiful disaster
Beautiful disaster
Beautiful disaster
