Beautiful things are comin' my way
Beautiful things, I want them to stay
But after a while my beautiful things
don't seem beautiful at all
Terrible things like when you wake up
and all of your dreams seem to crack up
Like things you have done,
like breakin' my heart
For you don't seem terrible at all
Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear what's on my mind?
Beautiful things like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things, the sky and the sea
Since you've been gone no beautiful things
seem beautiful to me
Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone out there on the line?
Does anybody want to hear what's on my mind?
Make the grass grow in the garden
when the rain is passin' by
Does anybody want to know
what's on my mind?Your mother came up to me.
She wanted answers only she should know,
Only she should know..
It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face.
I have no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you.
But these words they can't replace
The life you...the life you waste.
How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you?
I can't explain how I feel.
I've been there many times before.
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me.
But these words they can't replace
The life you...the life you waste.
Did daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?
Well fuck that and fuck her and fuck him and fuck you
For not having the strength in your heart to pull through.
I've had doubts.
I have failed.
I've fucked up.
I've had plans.
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands.
But these words, they can't replace
The life you...the life you waste.
But these words, they don't replace
The life you...the life you waste.
