Broken Beauty

Never say the right thing, always end up trying
to please the world and everyone in it, does that sound familiar?
Always take the blame and shoulder all the pain
even if the fault doesn't lie where it's placed
falling to pieces without meaning to

Broken beauty, shining in the hidden catacombs of despair
where the past comes back to haunt, and the smallest fracture can be fatal
stumbling but somehow able to survive
Broken beauty, hollow but alive,
it's not shallow or skin deep but kept out of sight, be wary of broken beauty

End up with scars and bleed straight from the heart
for all the lies and disappointment in reality, does that ring a bell?
Try to fix the problems that others created, but find the uphill battle too tough to fight
stuck on replay and the pain won't fade

Broken beauty, shining in the hidden catacombs of despair
where the past comes back to haunt, and the smallest fracture can be fatal
stumbling but somehow able to survive
Broken beauty, hollow but alive,
it's not shallow or skin deep but kept out of sight, be wary of broken beauty

it's fragile like a glass figurine, lovely at first but hard to handle
don't make it shatter please....broken beauty
