lyrics

I’ve made you something pretty
I hope that you’ll agree
sometimes just the thought of it
can make you make believe
I’m not always as considerate
as I would like to be
there are times I circle back to it
and wish it wasn’t me

I made you something pretty
it’s you.

we’d be lost for finding words
if I saw you everyday
Guess the secret’s knowing
what you really want to say
Let’s surprise the secrets out
and let our shadows play
I made you something pretty
but I had to give you away

They were soft but only seen
made you dream of kings and queens
the food was always ready when
you wanted it to be
guess we’ve found our pretty shiny things
shining on our cloudy screens
if only there was time enough
to show you how I really love

I’ve made you something stronger
than me

If it feels like only yesterday
perhaps it only was
Guess it’s still an answer
when you say it’s just because
Maybe there’s a better way
to give this question time
I made you something stronger
but I could not make you mine

I’ve made you something pretty
you said it’s pretty sad
maybe it can fill the space
we never got to have
hope that one day you’ll consider it
as I would like to stay
made me feel so very fortunate
more than I can ever say

I made you something special
it’s true

we’d be lost for finding words
if I saw you everyday
Guess the secret’s knowing
what you really want to say
Let’s surprise the secrets out
and let our shadows play
I made you something pretty
but I had to give you away
