So Beautiful - Dashboard Confessional

I heard that you were home again

But you don’t look like you’re back to me.

Well, if your focus is changing,

Your gaze is transfixed on the part I cannot see.

You’ve got your new ties.

I’ve got my old lies.

You’ve got your inside line

But you’re never happy with what you’ve got.

Careful now, you’re so beautiful

When you’ve convinced yourself

That no one else is quite as beautiful

I heard that you were living well

But you don’t look like you’re living to me.

Although the sparkle is gone,

Your smile is in place so that everyone watching will see.

You’ve got them all convinced,

And I know it so well.

That you have missed your friends

But you can count on them.

Hold it now, you’ve got everyone convinced

That you’re alright.

No one else is quite as wrong with it.

As soon as you’ve got it you want something else.

It’s not the sell that you love, it’s yourself.

It’s the not price that’s gonna cost you.

It’s just the weight that’s gonna bring you

Down, down, down, down

It’s gonna bring you down, down, down, down, down

Hold it now.

You’ve got everyone convinced that you’re alright.

No one else is quite as beautiful.

Careful now, you’re so beautiful

When you’ve convinced yourself

That no one else is quite as beautiful

As soon as you’ve got it you want something else.

It’s not the sell that you love, it’s yourself.

It’s the not price that’s gonna cost you.

It’s just the weight that’s gonna bring you

Down, down, down, down

It’s gonna bring you down, down, down, down, down

Careful now, you’re so beautiful

When you’ve convinced yourself

That no one else is quite as beautiful

As soon as you’ve got it you want something else.

It’s not the sell that you love, it’s yourself.

It’s the not price that’s gonna cost you.

It’s just the weight that’s gonna bring you

Down, down, down, down

It’s gonna bring you down, down, down, down, down
