So Beautiful

Here I am again
Pick my heart up off the floor
And all that once was mine and yours
And throw it all into the trash

Cause I'll walk these halls again
But you won't walk here anymore
Just me and all these ghosts of yours
I wish they'd all stay in the past

But sometimes I get lost in your memory
As I wander these old dirty streets
I keep lookin' over my shoulder
Thinkin' you were still holdin' on

To my hand
Brush my cheek
You'd wrap your lovin' arms so tight around my sides
But when I turn, there's no one there
But empty streets
And it feels like cutting my heart open every time
And every night you meet me here
To see me watch you leave again
You finally wrote a song that makes me cry
Oh, and it's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
But it's time to say goodbye

So here I lie again
As empty as I've ever been
All that's left are the funeral hymns
Won't you abide with me
Let me go peacefully

If I could do it all again
I would've been a different man
One to hold you to the ends of the earth
And back—again

I keep thinkin' you might take my hand
Brush my cheek
And wrap your lovin' arms so tight around my sides
But when I turn there's no one there
But empty streets
And it feels like cuttin' my heart open every time
And every night you meet me here
To see me watch you leave again
You finally wrote a song that makes me cry
Oh, and it's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
But it's time to say goodbye
