"beautiful girl" lyrics

Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
Some things are not what they seem to be
Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
You were nothing but a dream to me

I'd be lying if I said I like the way this ended
I'd rather have you holding on to my hand still
I had to see the things for the way they are
And not the picture perfect that I painted all this time
In my head
That's where you stay now
That's okay
How could I blame you?
Find yourself
No, I can't tame you
I promise I'll always remember your name

Now clean the dishes after dinner in my mama's kitchen
And the stains off my sweater from the wine I was spilling
Pure heart, but it's filled with pain
For a while I thought I could take it all away
Take it all away

Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
Some things are not what they seem to be
Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
You were nothing but a dream to me

Sometimes I wake up and I wish you could've stayed yeah
I keep your t-shirt in my drawer just in case that
You changed your mind and you feel like you might
Need another night here by my side
Some could argue that our time has passed too fast
Still I'm grateful for the hours that we had
Hope you know this even if I never said it
You were nothing but a blessing
Be happy

Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
Some things are not what they seem to be
Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
You were nothing but a dream to me

Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
Some things are not what they seem to be
Beautiful girl in a beautiful world
You were nothing but a dream to me

You were nothing but a dream to me
