"We Were Beautiful" lyrics

"We Were Beautiful"

I am not so sure, I am not so brave
You are not so broken you cannot be saved
We are just affection thrown out in all directions
We cannot take it back, can you picture that?
This is all we have, this is all we need
Life is like a circle coming back to me
This will not be easy, this will not be safe
Nothing ever feels that way no more

Yeah, but once we were young
We were beautiful and we were strong
We didn't think too hard of what would come
We were beautiful when we were young

Well, I'm somewhere in the moment, I ain't lost, I own it
I see what it can be, the proof is all around me
Second thoughts and doubt turn me inside out
The innocence I lack, can you picture that?
So you call on the devil but the devil don't come
You call on yourself 'cause you never need no one else
Like this is the last time, like you've been lost inside your mind
Fighting all this time, your memories are kind
Living life in rewind just reminds you

Once we were young
We were beautiful and we were strong
We didn't think too hard of what would come
We were beautiful when we were young
Oh, we were beautiful when we were young

Yeah, but once we were young
We were beautiful and we were strong
We didn't think too hard of what would come
'Cause we were beautiful when we were young

Oh yeah, once we were young
We were beautiful and we were strong
We didn't think too hard of what would come
'Cause we were beautiful when we were young
Yeah, we were beautiful when we were young
