Beautiful Pain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you gave me only one wish
I wouldn't want to feel this way
They told me I'd have your memory
But all I want is you to stay
And I can't stop my mind from haunting me
It's like a scar on a butterfly's wing
I wanted you to know
[Chorus]
This beautiful pain that I feel is all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And they'll leave me with the truth
And I'll give you everything if it's the last thing that I do
This beautiful pain, this beautiful pain
This beautiful pain for you
[Verse 2]
If I sailed the world on stormy seas
Chasing sunlight that I can't see
I was a dreamer here before
Before I woke up and fell to the floor
And I'd climb to heaven if I could find you
Even with a scar this butterfly flew
I wanted you to know
If you gave me only one wish
I wouldn't want to feel this way
They told me I'd have your memory
But all I want is you to stay
And I can't stop my mind from haunting me
It's like a scar on a butterfly's wing
I wanted you to know
[Chorus]
This beautiful pain that I feel is all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And they'll leave me with the truth
And I'll give you everything if it's the last thing that I do
This beautiful pain, this beautiful pain
This beautiful pain for you
[Verse 2]
If I sailed the world on stormy seas
Chasing sunlight that I can't see
I was a dreamer here before
Before I woke up and fell to the floor
And I'd climb to heaven if I could find you
Even with a scar this butterfly flew
I wanted you to know
[Chorus]
This beautiful pain that I feel is all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And they'll leave me with the truth
And I'll give you everything if it's the last thing that I do
This beautiful pain, this beautiful pain, this beautiful pain
[Bridge]
And all I'll ever need
And all I'll ever be
Within every part of me
[Chorus]
Is this, this beautiful pain that I feel and it's all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And leave me with the truth
And I'll give you everything 'cause it was all I ever knew
This beautiful pain, this beautiful pain, this beautiful pain for you
This beautiful pain that I feel is all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And they'll leave me with the truth
And I'll give you everything if it's the last thing that I do
This beautiful pain, this beautiful pain, this beautiful pain
[Bridge]
And all I'll ever need
And all I'll ever be
Within every part of me
[Chorus]
Is this, this beautiful pain that I feel and it's all because of you
And one day these bones will heal
And leave me with the truth
And I'll give you everything 'cause it was all I ever knew
This beautiful pain, this beautiful pain, this beautiful pain for you
