For the beauty, give me something to ease
For it’s the beauty that’s got its claws in me
There is an ache in our steps as we walk down the street
But it’s the beauty that stops me and brings me to my knees
For the pain, we live with our pain
Each day we manage our pain
In the hum of its song, there's comfort and calm
But it’s the beauty that sears me and tears at my heart
You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air
Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again
Just to feel, to love, to live, to try
To feel, to live, to love, to try
For the beauty, give me something please
For it’s the beauty that’s killing me
I can’t trust it anymore or rely on its truth
It pulls me right to it and makes a show of its abuse
You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air
Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again
You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air
Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again
Just to feel, to love, to live, to try
To feel, to live, to love, to try
To feel, to love, to live, to try
To feel, to live, to love, to fly
