Beautiful Pain

Do you wanna be honest

Or do you wanna win?

You could have it all

If you could gracefully give in

Like when a martyr go sees a martyr

Lookin' in the mirror makes you cry harder

'Bout your glitterin' ball and chain

In love, in love with your beautiful pain

Excuses and all theories

Peak themselves and die

Even when they don't hold water

You try to keep them safe and dry

An' trade your moan for a positive tone

Reassured by ads about things you own

And so we go through this again

In love, in love with your beautiful pain

If everything went runnin' smoothly

You'd soon lose who you were

Oh, the pain and hurt, for that's your real

So go on, go back to her

You packed up all your troubles

You let me play the bars

An' hiked out to the meadows

And lay down on the fragrant moss

Put down your own tree

Then meticulously built a cross right there

And stared back at me

An climbed up on it again

In love, in love with your beautiful

In love, in love with your beautiful

In love, in love with your beautiful pain
