"Beautiful Things" lyrics

"Beautiful Things"

You're standing at your bathroom mirror
Crying, "What did I do?" tears
Your friends are out, and you're right here
There's a party you didn't know
You just found out from your phone
Did they not want you to go?

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, you feel that twist of knife
Oh, I know it ain't right

Fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But honey, just take it from me
The world is hard on beautiful things

You're pretty, and you're smart
God made a work of art
Girl, don't pick yourself apart
And quit wondering why he did it
Nothing 'bout you needs fixin'
It ain't what you are, it's what he isn't

Oh, I know it don't feel fair
But oh, I can count the times I've been there

Fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But honey, just take it from me
The world is hard on beautiful things

That shine
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright

That shine
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright

'Cause fires burn up canyons
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Come on, pretty mockingbird, I want to hear you sing
Lies can break a fragile heart
And doubt can crush your dreams
But honey, just take it from me
Just hold on, just breathe
The world is hard on beautiful things

That shine
It's gonna be alright
You're gonna be alright
