For the beauty, give me some to ease For it's the beauty that's got its claws in me There is an ache in our steps as we walk down the streets But it's the beauty that stops me and brings me to my knees For the pain, we live with our pain Each day we manage our pain In the hum of its song there is comfort and calm But it's the beauty that sears me and tears at my heart You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again Just to feel, to love, to live, to try To feel, to live, to love, to try For the beauty, give me something, please For it's the beauty that's killing me I can't trust it anymore or rely on its truth It pulls me right to it and makes a show of its abuse You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again You stepped off the ledge, clawed at the air Crawled up the stairwell to throw yourself again Just to feel, to love, to live, to try To feel, to live, to love, to try To feel, to love, to live, to try To feel, to live, to love, to fly
