You're the Beautiful One lyrics

There's no kiss, no kiss I'd trade for you

There's no kiss, no disciple I wouldn't betray for you

You're the beautiful one

Of course you knew

And the wind, it blew 

Smoke circles around your eyes

I can't teach you

I can't tell you

I can't know you

But I want to

I can't sense you

I can't move you

I can't kill you

I can't stop you

There's no tailor making a four-hundred-dollar disguise (not this time)

Just an unhappy wind blowin' smoke in your eyes

There's no trust big enough for this room

And you know the certainty will be your doom

You're the beautiful one

You can take that home at night

Turn your body to the sun

And soak up what you can this life, (this life), this life

There's no backspace

There's no comma

There's no hyphen

There's no ribbon

There's no tab skips to the place where it writes out:

"All is forgiven"

There's no accusation that comes as a big surprise (not this time)

Just an unhappy tire throwin' dirt in my eyes

Funny how you can cure yourself

But what made you sick's still there

Funny how you detach yourself 

When you wanna show you care

You're the beautiful one (You're the beautiful one)

You're the beautiful one (You're the beautiful one)

You're the one, you're the one, you're the one

You're so far gone, a distant planet's picking up your goodbyes on TV

What's so beautiful about you is...you didn't have to explain it to me
