Beautiful Man

I should have told you I sold my soul to an angel.

I should have told you this world is not my own.

I should have wrapped you, wrapped you like a present.

I should have gotten to you before you were grown.

I should have whispered in your ear when you were lonely.

I should have taken you, taken you by the hand.

I should have told you you were, you are worthy.

I, I should have shown you you are,

You are a beautiful man.

'Cause I want to save you from yourself.

I want to save you from everybody else.

I want to be inside you whenever I can.

I am doing the best I can,

For my beautiful man.

I, I should have told you I would be difficult.

I should have shown you the scars on my soul.

I should have told you I wanted you,

I wanted you to take care of me

without allowing you to gain any of my control.

I want to save you from myself.

I want to save you from everybody else.

I want to be inside you when I can.

I am doing the best I can,

You beautiful man.

I am doing the best that I can

oh, you beautiful man...

I should have told you I was not good enough for you.

I should have whispered

"I am unkind".

I want to save you from yourself.

I want to save you from everybody else.

I want to save you from myself.

I am doing the best I can,

For my beautiful....

Save you from yourself.

I want to save you from everybody else.

I want to save you from yourself.

And I am doing the best I can,

My beautiful man...

For my beautiful man...
