Beautiful Ways Lyrics

I'm not a savior, so do me a favor
Stop in and see me sometime
I don't need you to save me
I'm ready to break free
Just need somebody to say

You know you're never too far
You know you're never too far away

Help me cause I'm off the radar screen
Help me cause you know just where I've been
Help me cause I've lost my faith
Help me mend my broken ways
But I just can't help myself
Have you lost your beautiful ways
You lost your beautiful ways

You started out lovely
Then somehow you changed me
I thought it'd be easy to see
I came to you lonely
Somehow I won't be
Walking this line long with you

It's occured to me that you won't be hanging around
I guess I don't mind cause you always put me down
But I never thought I'd see you on the ground
And you're suppose to save me?

Help me cause I'm off the radar screen
Help me cause you know just where I've been
Help me cause I've lost my faith
I can't afford to live this way
And I just can't help myself
Have you lost your beautiful ways
You lost your beautiful ways

I Know

I'm not a savior, so do me a favor
Stop in and see me sometime
I don't need you to save me
I'm ready to break free
Just need somebody to say

You know you're never too far
You know you're never too far away

You started out lovely
Then somehow you changed me
I thought it'd be easy to see
I came to you lonely
Somehow I won't be
Walking this line long with you

It's occured to me that you won't be hanging around
I guess I don't mind cause you always put me down
But I never thought I'd see you on the ground
And you're suppose to save me?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's a great song, about a break up or not even really being recogonized by someone you care about.

It confuses me like when he says he doesn't need the person to save him but then he says "and you're supposed to save me?" like he actually wanted them too.. Anyway basically i think this is about being with someone, or even having a friend that you want to be there for you even if they're not good for you "i guess i dont mind cause you always put me down". He sees that person isn't all that great like he thought, they lost their beautiful way. "But I never thought I'd see you on the ground And you're suppose to save me?" sounds kind of selfish. Like they're not supposed to be down because they're supposed to be helping him. shrugs this is really just rambling. I'll be surprised if anyone understands what i'm trying to say, lol
