Beautiful Sad from On Roosevelt by Lee Desty

Beautiful Sad

Beautiful sad, I’m so glad I stayed around
Habitual dreamer, you were always testing me
Frequently silent, you’d slip into your shell
Suddenly breaking, like a thunderstorm
Part of me was part of you, things we battled through
Caused each other so much pain, fill the glass back up again

Chorus
And the more I loved you, more than I should
The more I loved you, beautiful sad, I understood

Beautiful sad, I’d would wait on your every word
Seeking an answer, to questions no longer there
Endlessly worrying, about things of no consequence
Always believing, you gave me all you were

Chorus
And the more I loved you, more than I should
The more I loved you, beautiful sad,

Fine things in your mind, your funny ways, every detail
I longed to hear your laughter, banish your fears, give you hope
I’d take your hand in mine, making sure it was for real
I’d have stolen you a tomorrow, if only I knew how

Beautiful sad, I’m so glad you came my way
The look in your eyes said more than you could ever say
We coloured our days, found infinite ways, to be ourselves
Nothing was lost, we drank it all in, so sure it was true

Chorus
And the more I loved you, more than I should
The more I loved you,
Beautiful sad, I understood
Chorus
The more I loved you, more than I should
The more I loved you,
Beautiful sad, I understood,
Beautiful sad , I understood
Beautiful sad, I understood
Beautiful sad, I understood
