[Verse 1]
I fall apart on the floor in the kitchen
You're always there, I don't wanna make you listen
I'd rather do it on my own, try to fix it
'Cause maybe this time it'll be different
Y'know, I've been burned before
You walk over to my door
Late at night when I knew better
The air was getting colder
You saw what I did to my shoulder
Late at night when I knew better

[Chorus]
But you say, "you're beautiful"
And who'd known that I'd believe it?
Beautiful?
But that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

[Verse 2]
I'd like to say it'll go away with time
But it never really fades on this inside
What does it matter when it's all in your mind?
It's a fight every day to stay alive
And I've tried eight years
To conquer all my fears
But they got worse
Maybe I don't deserve
To feel happy in this world
Maybe I deserve to hurt
[Chorus]
But you say, "you're beautiful"
And who'd known that I'd believe it?
Beautiful?
But that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes

[Bridge]
But if you saw me on the street you wouldn't know
'Cause I'm wearing long sleeves, say I'm cold
It feels bad feeling bad, and I'm sorry
I'm a wreck and you're fine, so what are we?
The overpass is close
No one would even know
And no one would even care
I'll call my mom goodbye
I'll probably make her cry
I won't be here to care

[Chorus]
But she says, "you're beautiful
So please don't go
You're loved more than you know
That's why you're beautiful"
And who'd known that's all I needed?
Beautiful?
You're beautiful
Do you know?
I hope you see it
Beautiful
And that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes
[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
