Jesse Rutherford - Pretty Illusion Lyrics






So put the camera on him
He'll give you a show
But don't let him know you're there
Don't take advantage of him
Or he might run away (run, yeah)

Back when he was a child
Ooh, seemed like nothing confused him
He always had a real cool style
Ooh, such a pretty illusion

So put the camera on him
He'll give you a show
Just don't let him know you're there
Don't take advantage of him
But he might run away

Changed clothes like he changed his mind
Something like a hundred times a day (something like a hundred times a day)
Found in love that everybody lies
But he didn't always feel that way, no

So put the camera on him
He'll give you a show
Just don't let him know you're there
Don't take advantage of him
Or he might run away
So put the camera on him
He'll give you a show
But don't let him know you're there
Don't take advantage of him
He might run away
Don't take advantage of him
But he might need a break

Fuckin' bitches, I started that
Rack of boots, I started that
All the things, I started that
Makin' moves, I started that
Big deals, I started that
Milk shoe, I started that
Fuck, bih, I started that
Fuck, bih, I started that
Heart attack
Hey, now's the time to get turnt
Ow! Now's the time to get a heart attack
I started that

    I‘m not sure what this is, but I love it.

  3. M.... A....

    All I can hear about in this song is a sad kid... his album is amazing but, when you listen to it closely you may notice that something’s wrong. I wonder how broken Jesse actually is... hoping that it’ll get better, someday...

  4. S.... ....

  7. Y.... a....

    My favorite song

  8. N.... ....

    this reminds me of Frank Ocean's Forrest Gump

  9. J.... B....

    Omg i love this song. A lot of people are upset by the fact he's using a lot of "auto-tune". Its called an ("sound") effect. I think it sounds great. This song is so underrated it needs to be heard. The ending is me when i'm all hyped and shit like im ready lezz goo

  10. l.... l....

    WTF WAS THAT

  11. B.... M....

    Essa voz é magnífica

    [Verse 2]
    Changed clothes like he changed his mind
    Something like a hundred times a day (something like a hundred times a day)
    Found a look that everybody liked
    But he didn't always feel that way, no

    [Extended Chorus]
    So put the camera on him
    He'll give you a show
    Just don't let him know you're there
    Don't take advantage of him
