Beautiful & Lost

Ron Pope · The Bedroom Demos [2008]

Ballerina in a music box with your pink shoes on

Satin ribbons in your hair

Dance to something soft and sweet

Ghost of a little girl who fell asleep there right beside me



And you look so beautiful and lost

But don't turn out the light this time

Don't turn out the light on me tonight



This is simple

This is new

That's why I'm not scared of you

But you're afraid in ways that I can't comprehend

I do not pretend to live beneath your soft blonde hair

Inside your head

Wrapped up in darkness

Slow dancing with despair



You look so beautiful and lost

But don't turn out the light this time

Don't turn out the light on me tonight

Don't turn out the light

Don't turn out the light

Don't turn out the light inside



Spinning harder now you seem confused

I close my eyes but I'm still watching you

If you're broken I will gather up your pieces from the filthy ground



But don't turn out the light this time

Don't turn out the light on me tonight

Don't turn out the light



Spinning harder now you seem confused

I close my eyes but I'm still watching you

If you're broken I will gather up your pieces from the filthy ground



Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh



But don't turn out the light this time

Don't turn out the light on me tonight

Oh

On me tonight

Don't turn out the light

Don't turn out the light

Don't turn out the light on me tonight

Oh

On me tonight



(Don't turn out the light)

And you look so beautiful and lost

(Don't turn out the light)

(Don't turn out the light)

Oh

You look so beautiful and lost

(Don't turn out the light)



(Don't turn out the light)

Oh

(Don't turn out the light)

(Don't turn out the light)

Oh

(Don't turn out the light)

This time
