beautiful

In every smile I see your face
in every beautiful girl I see
still all my tears remind me
of how in you I was free

the sun reminds me of your face
where I found peace in our days
you are in every wave crashing over me
beautiful girls in my mistakes
beauty reminds me of you

tried so hard to make things wrong
when we should have made them right
all the mornings that lasted so long
like the hammock in the yard
your beautiful smile in my heart

The years they make us older
like memories I have never seen
in the darkness where I'm down
I can see the light I once found
when I close my eyes I see you

I'm mostly dead yet still alive
everthing you wanted me to be
I'm quiet when its still
wothout you against my will
I pray when I know I should
I would be your answers still

All these beautiful girls
I see through
reminding me about foolish you
everything i was or could ever be
you had to take

Now I'm stronger and invincible
I hide nothing and all of me is visible
I can't imagine being anything new
in the stillness its beautiful
just like you
