lyrics

Why do I constantly keep telling myself advice I'll never take
Act like it means something, or take it back
Stick to philosophies I set in motion
I need to keep myself going

I saw the moon frown and fall with all my hopes and dreams
Beautiful people do ugly things

And I saw the moon frown and fall with all my hopes and dreams
Beautiful people do ugly things
And I saw the moon I saw it fall apart with all my hopes and dreams
Ugly people do beautiful things

If I could start over again, I'd do it myself
Take the laces from my shoes, and knock the trophies off my shelf

I figured it out, so now I can rest
With everything I try, I'll try my best

Born in a hole with a rose tinted glass roof too high to ever bust through.
Well it seems unfair to me, but what is fair to those who are unable to see
Can't see the marred crags green under a green ceiling

Beautiful people

Why do I constantly keep telling myself advice I'll never take
Act like it means something, or take it back.
Stick to philosophies I set in motion
I set in motion

I need to keep myself going

And I saw the moon frown and fall with all my hopes and dreams
Beautiful people do ugly things
And I saw the moon I saw it fall apart with all my hopes and dreams
Ugly people do beautiful things
