Beautiful Man
BEAUTIFUL MAN
By Lori McKenna

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
