I used to pin it all on you.

Every time you dropped the ball, I fell.

Too beaten up to breathe

Way too psyched up to believe.

How many times I've cut you to the bone,

How many hells we've walked alone?

Too lonely to abstain,

Way too constrained to retain.



I couldn't outrun the darkness,

Couldn't break through the silence,

Couldn't believe you'd do. 

(But wanted you to.)

Cut me up through the shadows,

Hurt me through my defiance

To alter my point of view.

(And now with you.)



I'm here to tempt you

To be better than anyone,

And I'm so happy to show

That you're so special

Cuz you make me so beautiful.

I'm ablaze when you are aglow.



I've watched your demons take over me,

I've been so afraid.

I've let you in but then got betrayed.

Too bruised to live and breathe

Too beaten up to believe.



I should have guessed, I should have known

That you might have been there all alone.

You might have perished just like me

I should have seen, I should have come

To where this plague had once begun

I could have saved us both through empathy.



I'm here to tempt you

To be better than anyone,

And I'm so happy to show

That you're so special

Cuz you make me so beautiful.

I'm ablaze when you are aglow.



I've never breathed without you,

I've never seen without you,

I've been so dead without you,

I've never lived until now…



I couldn't outrun the darkness,

Couldn't break through the silence,

Couldn't believe you'd do. 

(But wanted you to.)

Cut me up through the shadows,

Hurt me through my defiance

To alter my point of view.

(And now with you.)



I'm here to tempt you

To be better than anyone,

And I'm so happy to show

That you're so special

Cuz you make me so beautiful.

I'm in love and I want you know



I've never breathed without you,

I've never seen without you,

I've never lived without you,



You are so special

Cuz you make me so beautiful.
