    Ari has a bittersweet vocal style that is at once enigmatic and revealing... heartbreaking and astonishing." Whisperin and Hollerin. U.K.

about

"I sit and feel the burns from your words as you sit and you say you don't need me."

lyrics

Sometimes all I've got is “pretty”
When all else seems to fail

Sometimes all I've got is “pretty”
when words just up and leave me

Sometimes all you lack is kindness
when things you've done turn to blindness

So I sit and feel the burns from your words
as you sit and you say you don't need me
You don't need me

Feel my breath, feel my hands, feel my heart leave me
as you sit and you say you don't need me

Should have run
should have known
just believed what they say about those you say they love and then leave you
Could have run
could have turned
but I didn't so I learned that sometimes all you get is “pretty”
that sometimes all that's left is "pretty"


Sometimes all I've got is "pretty" when all else seems to fail
