Not Pretty Enough

Some fantastic music from Australian artist Kasey Chambers on Prairie Home Companion today. Some lyrics for a Sunday afternoon:

"Not Pretty Enough"
copyright Kasey Chambers/EMI

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
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
