"So Beautiful" lyrics - DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL

I heard that you were home again
But you don't look like you're back to me
With your focuses changing, your gaze is transfixed on a point that I can't often see
You've got your new ties. I've got my old knots
You've got your inside line
But you're never happy with what you've got

Careful now, you're so beautiful when you've convinced yourself that no one else is quite as beautiful

I heard that you were living well
But you don't look like you're living to me
Though the sparkle is gone, your smile is in place, so that everyone watching will see
You've got them all convinced
But I know so well that you could list your friends, but you can't count on them

Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced that you're alright when no one else is quite as vulnerable

As soon as you've got it you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
It's not the price that's gonna cost you
It's just the weight that's gonna bring you down, down, down, down
It's gonna bring you down, down, down, down, down
It's gonna bring you down, down, down, down
It's gonna bring you down, down, down, down, down

Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced that you're alright when no one else is quite as vulnerable
Careful now, you're so beautiful when you've convinced yourself that no one else is quite as beautiful
You're so beautiful

As soon as you've got it you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
It's not the price that's gonna cost you
It's just the weight that's gonna bring you down, down, down, down
It's gonna bring you down, down, down, down, down
As soon as you've got it you want something else
It's not the sale that you love, it's the sell
It's not the price that's gonna cost you
It's just the weight that's gonna bring you down
