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

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...
