Beautiful Things

Love, love is a beautiful thing
Love, love is a beautiful thing
Love, love is a beautiful thing
It trusts and it doesn't judge
How we can change
What about love
And lust
Is the same
Love
Can't be forced
It can't be chased

Because love was something
That seemed out of reach
I just pushed it further
Till I couldn't see
Pushed it more
Than I would ever like to be
Really I was pushing away
Parts of me
There's sometimes
I wonder as I fall asleep
If the parts I pushed away
Will hide from me
Knowing it's not better
Feelings that I never
Could name
I hid in ways
That made my heart
Feel like a cellar
Necessitated change
To the way I would like to handle
The parts of me that seemed
To weigh too much or feel too fragile
Such categorizing
The self analyzing
I needed some Visine
My vision was lying
It made it seem likely
That love wouldn't find me
But love is around me
And love is inside me

Don't let her go
Let her know
She can stay
Know that she don't
That she won't
Walk away
Love such a beautiful, beautiful thing
Strong, incorruptible, uncorrupting

Please don't make me choose
Loving me or "loving" you
I will just pick me
And you'll probably feel bad
And if you feel bad
You will probably go home
And cry
And that's not my fault
Don't know what it is
That's makes you think
I would give
An ear to listen to
What you want I be
No need to cater to
What you want from me
I'm better off
Sometimes alone
Sometimes I am better
All on my own
And when I am lonely
I've got friends on the phone
They got love for my soul
It's sad some folks don't know
It's said
You can only love
As well as you have been loved
And if that's really true
I think that some of us just need hugs
That we will never get
From the people that we want them from
Or at least not in a way that can
Undone all that's been done
But that will change
In the sense that
Love finds a way
Though at times
It feels out of reach
There is only one path that it keeps
And it backs to you
Love stays up at night
Cos that's what lovin' do
Love says not right now
Cos that's part of lovin' too
Love says you know that I'll be there
There's no debt
There's a reason people love
There's a reason people live

Love, love is a beautiful thing
Strong, incorruptible, uncorrupting
Know that it don't
That it won't
Walk away
Love, love is a beautiful thing
