Beautiful World

Westlife · Greatest Hits [2011]

Here we go, lost in the lessons

Sometimes I mess up my intentions

I get lost, the cost was losing everything I've known

Laying here, staring at the ceiling

Sometimes still dealing with the feelings

Where I've been, what I've done

I'm so far out there on my own

So quick to point the finger

To find the one to blame

So hard to realize, I kept getting in my own way



I never thought that I was that strong

To carry on, carry on tonight

Forgiveness in your eyes, with nothing to hide

All I know, is you've shown me

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world



No more fearing my reflection

Here I am, with these imperfections

You know my flaws,

But you don't care, you take them all

Till now I was barely breathing

But you gave me something to believe in

We're writing history

Life's made up of small victories

We could go round in circles

And never get to here

So good to realize that we have nothing left to fear



I never thought that I was that strong

To carry on, carry on tonight

Forgiveness in your eyes, with nothing to hide

All I know, is you've shown me

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world



So quick to point the finger

When it was me to blame

So hard to realize, I kept getting in my own way



I never thought that I was that strong

To carry on, carry on tonight

Forgiveness in your eyes, there's nothing to hide

All I know, is you've shown me

It's a beautiful world



Oh the stars alight

Let's watch them shine for you and I

Oh these open skies

Can we just lie here a while

In this beautiful world



I never thought that I was that strong

To carry on

It's a beautiful world

It's a beautiful world
