When We Were Beautiful Lyrics
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I’m hanging in
You’re holding on
I can’t pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
[Solo]
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back…When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
The sky is torn
I’m hanging in
You’re holding on
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back… When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let’s go back and find it
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Back…When we were beautiful
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la

This song is amazing!!
I am so excited about the new album as Jovi have returned to their rock roots, miles apart from the less than impressive "Lost Highway" album.
This is my favourite song on the new album, it is powerful and emotional - he's reminiscing about the past and how good things were back then. He is wishing they could "go back and find it".
Jovi you have done it again! :)
I personally love this song also
I love the sha la la ...idn why
It's about going back to the old days...whatever it may be...but it seems to be your childhood
I love the use of the word "beautiful" here. It's not physical beauty, it's the beauty of innocence, the beauty of naivety. Going back to youth, or the beginning of a relationship, or even the beginning of a band. There's always an innocence in the beginning that you lose along the way.
Some dreams live (Only a few bands have come this far) Some will die (Many bands have parted) But the you and me
Is still alive (You and me refers to Bon Jovi members and their fans)
Now am I blessed? (Blessed with fans) Or am I cursed? (refers to music ratings.. they have never been rated as a top band) Cause the way we are Aint the way we were
Brilliant song. So powerful.
About a couple who are so broken. Can they re-build their fractured relationship and "go back and find it."
Everyone has been in a relationship that has turned so south and sour but they can't let go of that hope of things going back to the way it was before.
