Shitty Places, Pretty Faces Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I should feel bad, I shouldn't feel better
'Cause breakups are sad and I'm scared to be alone
I'm feeling insane ‘cause I'm feeling happy
Never seeing your face again, I'm better on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when you've had enough
When it's finally too much
Pack your memories and leave them

[Chorus]
We don't have to wait
For people to change in shitty places
We don't have to stay
With people we hate with pretty faces

[Verse 2]
You think that you're safe but you know you're in danger
So you choose to stay, 'cause what you know is comfortable
You don't trust yourself and put your faith in a stranger
I've been there myself, and yeah, you're better on your own

[Pre-Chorus]
Just when you've had enough
When it's finally too much
Pack your memories and leave them
[Chorus]
We don't have to wait
For people to change in shitty places
We don't have to stay
With people we hate with pretty faces

[Bridge]
Love somebody who can hold your head
Love somebody you can love again
Love somebody who can hold your head
Love somebody you can love again
Love somebody who can hold your head
Love somebody you can love again
Love somebody who can hold your head
Love somebody you can love again

[Chorus]
We don't have to wait
For people to change in shitty places
We don't have to stay
With people we hate with pretty faces

[Outro]
Woah, shitty places
Woah, shitty places
Woah, shitty places

What did Ashe say about "Shitty Places, Pretty Faces"?
Genius Answer

This one is a big “finding myself” kind of song. We don’t have to stay in situations that are toxic. As much as it may feel like it, we’re not stuck. I wanted someone to tell me this when I was falling apart in my marriage.
