Beautiful You Lyrics
When we came together, I took it all too far
Barricade the bedroom, let me drown in your armsBottles in the window, catch the fading sun
Tell me that we're still so young,
but you're wrong, so wrongI felt forever in a day, and then I let it slip away
So are you happy where you are?So far from me, still all I need is you, beautiful you,
with poison in your locket, filthy hand in mindSo lost to me, all I could never be is you, beautiful you,
a martyr in your garters, harder than I'll ever beNow I see you, sunken-eyed and restless sucking filters,
swollen pride in dresses made for childrenYou pinned me like a film star on your bedroom wall
I told you all I knew was true, you laughed and said, "that's all?"I miss you in the morning, holding on to fading dreams
I could never believeI lost forever in a day, and still I've never felt the same
So are you happy where you are?
