It's been so long since I wrote a tune
But now here I am. This one's for you
I am reaching out for words to help spill my soul
But they're all dry as bones or cheap as gold
And I could soak in songs that provoke despair
Or I could wave my arms like I just don't care
But I'd be lying to the world about the things I see
Trade that S.O.S. for an R.I.P.
Oh
I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll
If you could read my mind, you'd find the pages burned
Nothing but blackened ash stuffed in a silver urn
I cross my heart hope to survive
That I will bite my tongue and tame my pride
So for a moment, for a moment, I will catch your eye
Through the horoscopes and suicide
I see a child cry his first breathe of life
Your loving words as I reach my time
You're saying "Life wasn't easy, but god it was worth it.
I'm glad I'm here to hold your hand as you drift away from it."
Oh
I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll
Oh
I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll
Life wasn't easy, but god it was worth it
I'm glad I'm here to hold your hand as you drift away from it
Oh
I'll tell her she's beautiful through every eye roll
