Beirut (Despair Version)

You ask me
If I really believe that anything could hold her beauty
That isn't otherworldly
She haunts me
Like a shadow in the corner that beckons sweetly
Whispering my elegy
Obsessed beyond belief
I will retreat into the desert

Here I am, sitting at home alone
When everything I loved is gone
An angel calls
Beirut has never looked so beautiful
These pictures of you will guide me true

Distracting
I'd leave behind a wasted life to see her beauty
That pretty face in front of me
Reflecting
Is it wrong of me to feel the need to tell this story?
To put your name to melody

Here I am, sitting at home alone
When everything I loved is gone
An angel calls
Beirut has never looked so beautiful
These pictures of you will guide me true

This isn't real
I'll run away, I'll
Give it all, if I can start it all over with you
I can't feel
Anything at all
Show me the way to make things
Make things new

I still dream of the two of us alone
Somewhere lost in Lebanon
I'd sell my soul
Nothing could be more beautiful
These pictures of you will guide me true
