Do you wanna be honestor do you wanna win? 

You could have it all if you could gracefully give in.

Like when a martyr go sees a martyr.

Lookin' in the mirror makes you cry harder

'bout your glitterin' ball and chain.

In lovein love with your beautiful pain.



Excuses and all theories peak themelves and die.

Even when they don't hold wateryou try to keep them safe and dry.

An' trade your moan for a positive tone

Reassured by ads about things you own

And so we go through this again

In lovein love with your beautiful pain.



If everything went runnin' smoothly

You'd soon lose who you were.

Ohthe pain and hurtfor that's your real

So go ongo back to her.



Instrumental break.



You packed up all your troublesyou let me play the bars.

An' hiked out to the meadows and lay down on the fragrant moss.

Put down your own treethen meticulously

Built a cross right there and stared back at me.

An' climbed up on it again:

In lovein love with your beautiful

In lovein love with your beautiful

In lovein love with your beautiful pain.
