Season 8 of American Idols was both awesome and painful to enjoy and endure. The artistes I loved were chucked even though they were more talented in my opinion. One of those was Allison Iraheta, the redhead. That chic’s voice is INSANE. Two of her songs kill me, Scars and Don’t waste the pretty. I love both songs in terms of the sound and lyrics . I love how scars start with Allison singing in that husky voice…’Did I say something Stupid?’ check out the video and the lyrics. I will share the lyrics for Don’t waste the pretty. It reminds me of some of my friends at different stages in our lives and myself at different stages of my life

 

Dust it off, break it down
Get to what we're talking about
To what we're talking about
Don't try and hide it now
You can't keep working it out
You can't keep working it out

'Cause I see how he's putting you down
I just can't be around
What you doing this for?
'Cause the light in you is starting to fade
Don't let it get away
Girl, you're worth so much more

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take, don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta see
Don't waste the pretty, yeah

Sit back and breathe it in
Look at how lucky we are
Look at how lucky we are
This life we're living in
You've got to follow your heart
You know I'm never too far

Away from the pain in your eyes
I can see your disguise
But it's not too late
'Cause I know you can turn this around
Don't be scared, work it out
And listen when I say

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take, don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta see
Don't waste the pretty, yeah

And just in case you need reminding
Well you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
And there ain't no use in your heartache
'Cause you're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, yeah

Don't waste the pretty on him
Don't waste the pretty on pain
When it gets too much to take, don't give it away
Don't waste the pretty on life
Soon it's gonna fly on by
Whatever way you gotta see
Don't waste the pretty, yeah

 

Ok you know me and lyrics below are the lyrics to SCARS:

 

Did I say something stupid?
There goes one more mistake
Do I bore you with my problems?
Is that why you turn away?

Do you know how hard I've tried
To become what you want me to be?

Take me, this is all that I've got
This is all that I'm not, all that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars

You say don't act like a child
But what if it's a father I need?
It's not like you don't know what you got yourself into
Don't tell me I'm the one who's naive

Do you know how hard I've tried
To become what you want me to be?

Take me, this is all that I've got
This is all that I'm not, all that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars

Come on, just let it go
These are things you can't control
Your expectations, your explanations don't make sense to me
You and your alternatives
Don't send me to your therapist
Deep down I know what you need
And I'm not sure that's what I want to be
No, oh no

Take me, this is all that I've got
This is all that I'm not, all that I'll ever be
I've got flaws, I've got faults
Keep searching for your perfect heart
It doesn't matter who you are
We all have our scars
We all have our scars

Did I say something stupid?
There goes one more mistake
