Beautiful You

When we came together, I took it all too far Barricade the bedroom, let me drown in your arms Bottles in the window, catch the fading sun Tell me that we're still so young, but you're wrong, so wrong I felt forever in a day, and then I let it slip away So are you happy where you are? So far from me, still all I need is you, beautiful you, with poison in your locket, filthy hand in mind So lost to me, all I could never be is you, beautiful you, a martyr in your garters, harder than I'll ever be Now I see you, sunken-eyed and restless sucking filters, swollen pride in dresses made for children You pinned me like a film star on your bedroom wall I told you all I knew was true, you laughed and said, "that's all?" I miss you in the morning, holding on to fading dreams I could never believe I lost forever in a day, and still I've never felt the same So are you happy where you are? --- Beautiful You - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
