Something Beautiful

Faded away like the color in a blue sky at the end of the day
Night falls and the search begins for something
(Something better than this)

A scream or a cry, the truth or a lie
I'm not sure they can save us this time
I don't wanna be around when it all comes down
(To watch something beautiful die)

You said the only way is to run away
You're sick of me so you just can't stick around
To hear me pleading, I'm pleading
Does it show? I'm pathetic, I know
But I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)

Helpless 'cause my hands are tied
Eyelids pinned back so they're opened wide
In a theatre all alone, in the front row
(To watch something beautiful die)

A scream or a cry, the truth or a lie
I'm not sure they can save us this time
I don't wanna be around when it all comes down
(To watch something beautiful die)

You said the only way is to run away
You're sick of me so you just can't stick around
To hear me pleading, I'm pleading
Does it show? I'm pathetic, I know
But I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)

What happened to the things that we used to do?
You said it's all the same and that you needed a change
You left without good-bye and now I'm wondering why
I don't think I wanna know all the things he does better
And how the past just doesn't matter
You left me once, this time will be the last time

You said the only way was to run away
You're sick of me so you just can't stick around
To hear me pleading, I'm pleading
Does it show? I'm pathetic, I know
But I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)

Look for the feeling that we lost
Where did you have it last?
Maybe if we retrace our steps
But we can't find the path
That led us here to where we stand
Face to face to watch this bitter end
Now something beautiful is dead.
