Beautiful Is Gone Lyrics

Our love has come so far but not at all
I remember the start you can’t recall
By the time it was right you didn’t want to fall
If it’s over say it’s over
Blindly I let you destroy me
Love is not so beautiful when your lungs are caving in
And beautiful is gone
Oh don’t lie to me when we both know baby beautiful is gone
I pushed you so hard but not at all
You closed your eyes
I could see it all
Run out the door see no more of you and what you do
Blindly I let you destroy me
Love is not so beautiful when your lungs are caving in and beautiful is gone
Oh don’t lie to me when we both know baby
Beautiful is gone
Beautiful is gone
What’s in store now that you have shut the door?
Peek in through the open crack
I can’t keep from crawling back for more
Crawling back for more
Say its over if it’s over
Blindly I let you destroy me
Love is not so beautiful when your lungs are caving in and beautiful is gone
Oh don’t lie to me when we both know baby
Beautiful is gone

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.
