Am I Not Pretty Enough - Kasey Chambers

Am I not pretty enough
Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much?
Am I too outspoken?
Don’t I make you laugh?
Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me?


I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me,
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break,
I crave, I love, I’ve waited long enough,
I try as hard as I can.


Am I not pretty enough?
Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much?
Am I too outspoken?
Don’t I make you laugh?
Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me?


I laugh, I feel, I make believe it’s real,
I fall, I freeze, I pray down on my knees,
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man,
I try as hard as I can.


Am I not pretty enough?
Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much?
Am I too outspoken?
Don’t I make you laugh?
Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me?

A very pretty and poignant song.

Hey, thought I should tell you that I was folding my washing this morning and a white-tailed spider landed on my arm. Needless to say, it died a quick and squishy death, and then I leaped about, checking my arm for the two little dots and any signs of puffiness.

Oh yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk!!!! Thank goodness you told me that today and not yesterday before I did my washing! I would have been too scared to go near it! I'm still very cautious about pulling the drapes in the morning now :(

Yeah it's very pretty. Heard it on the radio yesterday and promptly burst into tears. I'm such a sap.
