So Beautiful
Dashboard Confessional · A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar [2003]
I heard that you were home again
But you don't look like you're back to me
With your focuses changing
Your gaze is transfixed
A point that I can't often see
You've got your new ties
I've got my old knots
You've got your inside lines
But you're never happy with what you've got
Careful now
You're so beautiful
When you've convinced yourself
That no one else is quite as beautiful
I heard that you were living well
But you don't look like you're living to me
Though the sparkle is gone
Your smile is in place
So that everyone watching can see
You've got them all convinced
But I know so well
That you could list your friends
But you can't count on them
Hold it now
You've got everyone convinced
That you're alright
When no one else is quite as vulnerable
As soon as you got it you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
It's not the price that's going to cost you
It's just the weight that's going to bring you
Down, down, down, down
It's going to bring you
Down, down, down, down, down
[2x]
Hold it now
You've got everyone convinced
That you're alright
No one else is quite as vulnerable
Careful now
You're so beautiful
When you've convinced yourself
No one else is quite as beautiful (you're so beautiful)
As soon as you got it, you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
It's not the price that's going to cost you
It's just the weight that's going to bring you
Down, down, down, down
It's going to bring you
Down, down, down, down, down (you're so beautiful)
As soon as you got it, you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
It's not the price that's going to cost you
It's just the weight that's going to bring you
Down
But you don't look like you're back to me
With your focuses changing
Your gaze is transfixed
A point that I can't often see

I've got my old knots
You've got your inside lines
