Beautiful Lyrics - Singles - Alex Nelson

as you stare 

from here to the rest of your life 

does it scare you? 

somewhere 

it became something less than alright 

cause it was safe to 

you've given up 

you give a listen 

your ears wide open but.. 

your eyes and mouth tight shut 

you've made it up 

i can see you turning nothing 

into something good 

into something true 

into something that might be 

beautiful 

you sense 

the pain that is breaking your back 

and you notice 

your defense 

leaves you no room for attack 

and you know this 

you've given up 

you drag yourself from year to weary year 

till there's nothing left but fear 

it's pretty clear 

i can see you turning nothing 

into something good 

into something true 

into something that might be 

beautiful 

[break 1] 

you place 

a bookmark and swear you'll return 

but somehow 

you can't face 

the thought of when you get your turn 

you might not know how 

you've given up 

on everything that makes you feel alive 

pretend your satisfied 

and let it slide 

i can see you turning nothing 

into something good 

into something true 

into something that might be 

beautiful 

[break 2] 

[end]
