Beautiful Pain

Do you wanna be honest or do you want to 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

And 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 so real

So go on, go back to her

You packed up all your troubles and let me play the boss

And hiked out to the meadow and lay down on the fragrant moss

Put down your own tree, then meticulously

Built a cross right there and stared back at me

And 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
