Lyrics The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – 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,

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?
