Beautiful

Can't get your smell off my skin
Can't sleep for fear of dreaming
See your face and wake up screaming
Gasping, taking your scent in
Can't go out for fear of meeting
Obsessively I keep repeating
Your name, solemn, like a hymn

Even though I'll end my day here,
While my love goes sour and I get sick and dull

Can't get your taste off my tongue
Can't swallow or it'll kill me
Hold you in and you'll fulfill me
Choking on the songs we sung
Can't call out for fear of hearing
No answer, nothing nearing
Your voice, my last bell is rung

Even though I'll end my day here,
While my love goes sour and I get sick and dull
Even though you bled me dry, stripped me bare and left me cold
You aren't worthy of my fever, but you are still beautiful

I've burned it down to the filter
And still I keep sucking these memories dry
How long before I use them up
Before they cease to satisfy?

Can't get your ghost off my mind
Can't move for fear of feeling
A pain that sends me reeling
Grabs me, shakes me, leaves me blind
Can't think for fear of believing
When you left, you were really leaving
And that you left me behind

Even though I'll end my day here,
While my love goes sour and I get sick and dull
Even though you bled me dry, stripped me bare and left me cold
You aren't worthy of my fever
But you are still beautiful
Even though you are a liar
And there's a place where people like you go
I'll go with you, and burn forever
You are still beautiful
