You Pretty, I Love You
Alex Wilson
Description
A tender alt-pop ballad reflecting on finding genuine connection amidst the overwhelming noise of the digital age. "You Pretty, I Love You" captures the vulnerability and sincerity of modern romance, where fleeting trends meet lasting affection. The song builds from intimate, lo-fi beginnings to an anthemic chorus, representing the amplification of a private moment into a shared truth. It's about seeing beyond filters and curated personas to the real person underneath, and choosing authenticity over fleeting online validation.
Lyrics
[Verse 1 | Intimate / Minimal] (Scrolling through the noise again, can’t lie — it’s loud tonight) Everyone’s got something to say, and none of it feels right Then I see you there, cutting through the screenlight blue You said one small thing and it broke the room in two [Pre-Chorus | Lift / Glow] All the flashing hearts, they fade to black But your words pull gravity back I forget the world’s in view When you say something simple, true [Chorus | Open / Anthemic] You pretty — I love you Don’t need a caption, don’t need proof You pretty — I love you That’s the headline, that’s the truth You pretty — I love you It’s awkward, it’s real, it’s brand new You pretty — I love you And I’d say it again if it broke the news [Verse 2 | Warm / Pulse] They’re writing stories on our breath, screenshots for souvenirs But I’m still in this quiet room, laughing at what they hear You don’t need the angle right, or the filter on your face You just look at me and time forgets its place [Pre-Chorus | Build / Spark] All the noise turns low and clean When you talk like no one’s seen The whole world’s tuned to what we do But I only hear the “me and you” [Chorus | Full / Bright] You pretty — I love you Don’t need a caption, don’t need proof You pretty — I love you That’s the headline, that’s the truth You pretty — I love you Every trend fades but this feels new You pretty — I love you And the crash of hearts still sounds like you [Bridge | Float / Release] They can quote it, they can spin it But the moment’s ours, we’re in it Every post, every spark, every view Still can’t outshine the way I see you And even if they try to replicate The feeling that we both create It's a copy, fake, and oh so blue They'll never have the me and you [Final Chorus | Wide / Lift] You pretty — I love you No camera flash, just me and you You pretty — I love you Whole world watching, still feels true You pretty — I love you If it’s simple, it’s enough You pretty — I love you That’s our language, that’s our love [Outro | Echo / Fade] You pretty...I love you You pretty...I love you
