Lyse - Pretty Thoughts Lyrics

You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
You think you never should have fought
You want your life to be a breeze
Thinking everything will come easy

You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
You only want what's on screen
You think your life should be a fairytale
You won't accept reality

And I just can't sit and watch you go numb
As life hits you hard and you come undone
Oh we tried to tell you what you should have done
But you shake your head, you turn, you run

Back to all your pretty thoughts
You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
But they're not really pretty thoughts
Oh, oh
You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
But they're not pretty thoughts

You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
You think you're following your dreams
But don't you see you're hurting yourself
And everybody in between

Oh
Baby, you're not chasing pretty thoughts
You're giving up on all the precious things
'Cause all you see is this perception
That you should have perfection
In everything

And I just can't sit and watch you go numb
As life hits you hard and you come undone
Oh we tried to tell you what you should have done
But you shake your head, you turn, you run

Back to all your pretty thoughts
You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
But they're not really pretty thoughts
You're just gonna end up scarred
Honey, you're running too far
To those illusionary dreams
You see you're only chasing feelings

You say you're chasing pretty thoughts
You only want what's on screen
You think your life should be a fairytale
You won't accept reality
