Beautiful

I used to pin it all on you
Every time you dropped the ball, I fell
Too beaten up to breathe
Way too psyched up to believe
How many times I’ve cut you to the bone
How many hells we’ve walked alone?
Too lonely to abstain
Way too constrained to retain

I couldn’t outrun the darkness
Couldn’t break through the silence
Couldn’t believe you’d do
(But wanted you to)
Cut me up through the shadows
Hurt me through my defiance
To alter my point of view
(And now with you)

I’m here to tempt you
To be better than anyone
And I’m so happy to show
That you’re so special
Cuz you make me so beautiful
I’m ablaze when you are aglow

I’ve watched your demons take over me
I’ve been so afraid
I’ve let you in but then got betrayed
Too bruised to live and breathe
Too beaten up to believe

I should have guessed, I should have known
That you might have been there all alone
You might have perished just like me
I should have seen, I should have come
To where this plague had once begun
I could have saved us both through empathy

I’m here to tempt you
To be better than anyone
And I’m so happy to show
That you’re so special
Cuz you make me so beautiful
I’m ablaze when you are aglow

I’ve never breathed without you
I’ve never seen without you
I’ve been so dead without you
I’ve never lived until now

I couldn’t outrun the darkness
Couldn’t break through the silence
Couldn’t believe you’d do
(But wanted you to)
Cut me up through the shadows
Hurt me through my defiance
To alter my point of view
(And now with you)

I’m here to tempt you
To be better than anyone
And I’m so happy to show
That you’re so special
Cuz you make me so beautiful
I’m in love and I want you know

I’ve never breathed without you
I’ve never seen without you
I’ve never lived without you

You are so special
Cuz you make me so beautiful
