Tegan & Sara - Beauty lyrics

rate me

woke up with beauty in my bed

and isn't it sad how

we don't know it's beauty until it's dead

and it's beauty that I knew so well

but she wasn't doin too well

well I just wanna go someplace

where no one knows my name

and I don't have to explain

no I don't have to retain

that I lie to myself or protect myself

for the benefit of myself

I want power in my words

I want passion in my eyes

and when I wake up

I want life to be a surprise

and I guess that I didn't know it all along

and I guess that I never guessed

that I'd ever guess wrong

and I set myself up everytime you leave

to destroy the things I've got

for the things I need

each conversation separate from themselves

separates good from bad

and they never want what you got

until it's up for grabs

and then they want what you have

they want what you have

well I just wanna go someplace

where no one knows my face

and I don't have to explain

and no, I don't have to retain

that I lie to myself

that I protect myself

for the benefit of myself

I want power in my words

I want passion in my eyes

and when I wake up

I want life to be a surprise

and I guess that I didn't know it all along

and I'll never guess that

I'd ever go ahead and guess wrong

and I set myself up everytime you leave

to deny the things I love

for the things I need

for the things I need

I want to break through

to break through

oh I want one thing

I wanted

to come through

oh to come true

I want passion in my eyes

I want power in my words

and when I wake up

I want life to be a surprise

and I never thought

that I'd wake up

and be starving for you

no I never thought

that I'd wake up and I'd be hungry

I'm hungry for you

to break through to break through

I want one thing I wanted to come through

ah, to come true

I want power in my words

I want passion in my eyes

and when I wake up

I want life to be a surprise

and I guess that I didn't know it all along

and I'll never guess that

I'd ever go ahead and guess wrong

oh I want to break through

to break through

I want one thing I've dreamed for

to come true

to come through

oh I set myself up

every time you leave

to destroy the things I've got

for the things I need

to destroy the things I love

for the things I've seen
