lyrics / Beautiful Thing

Beautiful Thing

Hey little girl – lost in your little world

So afraid to be lonely – you don’t want to be the only

Rose that doesn’t bloom - afraid no one will love you

So you lock yourself into

A twisted point of view

You don’t want to know – the feelings you had before

Were wrapped up in someone who’s ugly

So you keep trying to - keep yourself so busy with nothing to do

From Friday night

To Sunday afternoon

You’re a beautiful thing (chorus)

Trying so hard not to be seen

Wasted by someone who broke you

(Beautiful thing)

You’re a beautiful thing

Trying so hard not to be seen

But you’re dying for someone to love you

(Beautiful thing)

You know it’s hard to say

After you’ve paved your own way

That you hate everything you’ve become

Close yourself off to everyone

There’s no one you can tell

The things you think about yourself

You don’t want to show through

Your twisted point of view

(repeat chorus)

Beautiful thing

Beautiful thing

Beautiful thing
