JB Vannatta - Beautiful Lost Lyrics

We sit on the couch and talk through ourselves
And we try to recall our own private hells
We try to make sense of ourselves and our senses
And struggle to talk about our future tenses
Our future's uncertain, our present's at rest
I try to imagine it's you who is best
Come to me, whisper, but don't say a word
Make sounds for me softly that I've never heard
It's time to be leaving and crossing the bridge
You can't leap over, you're stuck on that ledge
Our minds have played tricks on the best of ourselves
We think we are truthful, but all have our tells

Now we are gone something beautiful's lost
The needs of another take such a high cost
To let something go this amazing's insane
But not even love can untangle this pain

Your mother and father have played tricks on you
They told you to be who they wanted you to
You wanted to be someone you never could
You would when you're older you felt so assured
But now you are older, you're making a fuss
Boys have come over and used up their luck
Circumstances can take beauty away
You hang your head down and lie it's okay
Lot's wife looked back and turned into salt
You cannot see it's your vision at fault
Your past will constantly turn you around
You only look forward but stare at the ground

Now we are gone something beautiful's lost
The needs of another take such a high cost
To let something go this amazing's insane
But not even love can untangle this pain

Now you're in limbo and making a mess
You wanted me here and you said it yourself
When you miss me remember it's you who left
I've been better to you than you've been to yourself
There's poison in all of the things we discussed
These diamonds forever are starting to rust
You're pushing and pulling and staying away
I'll lie that I love you and that it's okay
The bridge is crumbling and falling to bits
A boxer can only take so many hits
A punch in the gut and a shot to the head
Happened enough that between us is dead

Now we are gone something beautiful's lost
The needs of another take such a high cost
To let something go this amazing's insane
But not even love can untangle this pain
