Something Beautiful Lyrics
Faded away like the color in a blue sky at the end of the day
night falls and the search begins for something, something better than this
a scream, a cry, the truth, a lie, I'm not sure they will save us this time
I dont wanna be around when it all comes down to watch something beautiful die
You said the only way was to run away
you're sick of me so you just can't stick around to hear me pleading (I'm pleading)
does it show? I'm pathetic I know
I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)
Helpless, cause my hands are tied
eyelids pinned back so they're open wide
in a theatre
all alone
in the front row
to watch something beautiful die
a scream, a cry, the truth, a lie, I'm not sure they will save us this time
I dont wanna be around when it all comes down to watch something beautiful die
You said the only way was to run away
you're sick of me so you just can't stick around to hear me pleading (I'm pleading)
does it show? I'm pathetic I know
I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)
What happened to
the things that we used to do
said its all the same
and that you needed a change
you left without goodbye
and now I'm wondering why
but I dont think I wanna know all the things he does better
or how the past just dosen't matter
you left me once this time will be the last time
Look for the feeling that we lost
where'd you have it last?
maybe if we retrace our steps
but we can't find the path that led us here to where we stand
face to face to watch this bitter end
now something beautifuls dead
night falls and the search begins for something, something better than this
I dont wanna be around when it all comes down to watch something beautiful die
you're sick of me so you just can't stick around to hear me pleading (I'm pleading)
does it show? I'm pathetic I know
I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)
eyelids pinned back so they're open wide
in a theatre
all alone
in the front row
to watch something beautiful die
I dont wanna be around when it all comes down to watch something beautiful die
you're sick of me so you just can't stick around to hear me pleading (I'm pleading)
does it show? I'm pathetic I know
I just can't stand here and watch you go
I'm running after you (I'm running after you)
the things that we used to do
said its all the same
and that you needed a change
you left without goodbye
and now I'm wondering why
but I dont think I wanna know all the things he does better
or how the past just dosen't matter
you left me once this time will be the last time
where'd you have it last?
maybe if we retrace our steps
but we can't find the path that led us here to where we stand
face to face to watch this bitter end
now something beautifuls dead

Simply... beautiful <3
to me at least... the 'something beautiful' is not the girl in the song, but their relationship. and when it goes "helpless, cause my hands are tied... to watch something beautiful die" its about how hes being forced to go through the break up and not be able to break lose and fix things.
This is one of my favorite songs on this CD. Cauterize is my favorite band! You should all check out there older stuff they did when they were T.O.E. (Take Off Eh!)
this is a great song one of my fave songs
I agree that the "something beautiful" is their relationship. he can tell their relationship is fading and he doesn't want to sit around and watch it die. he wants to chase after her and work on it, but he feels so helpless.
I love the first line it's amazing. and they are an awesome band!!!!! this is one of my faves of their songs.
This song is awesome, does anyone know when the new cd is coming out?! cauterize is awesome!:)
this song is awesome, its the only song i knew of theirs, but the 1st time i hear it, i loved it, i didnt know the lyrics, bit theyre actually really smart and kinda profound, i like it even more now
KILLER song! one of there best...they have great lyrics with great meaning, there new cd is pretty good i recommend it if you like them!
sweeet song!...i think it about a guy saying that they can't be even though he still wants her and she's leaving and he's going after her...GREAT BAND
I love this song but I don't think it is necessarily about the relationship, it's just about being forced to watch and deal with something you can't do anything about, and how much it sucks. It may be about seeing the girls self destruction or the destruction of the relationship it's self, just something he can't change but wants to
