Lyrics
I know where I'm supposed to be
Beside you now, but they won't let me
They're taking you away
So here I'll lay eventually
I'll waste away and
They'll come get me
To place me next to you
Right next to beautiful
Letting go of all you've held onto
Why can't I? Why can't I?
Beautiful
Letting go of all you know is true
Why can't I let you go?
And on and on and until
I see no good to be
Angry with myself
I'll toss and turn tonight
When did I get so uncivilized?
I could not awake from sleeping
I could do just fine
For most of the time
'Til I see my own reflection
So tell me lies
Tell me sweet little lies
I cannot continue sleeping
I can fool myself
For most of the time
'Til I see my own reflection
'Cause that reminds me of beautiful
Letting go of all you've held onto
Why can't I? (Why can't I?) Why can't I? (Why can't I?)
Beautiful
Letting go of all you know is true
Why can't I let you go?
And what else could have happened?
Oh my dear, all my life without you
And what else could have happened?
To come away, come away with me, love
And I'll find the place
You keep your favorite things
I'll try to make you fall in love by association
And now I know in my heart
I've never lost the thing
'Til I lost you, my love
My beautiful (I've no regrets of yesterday)
Letting go of all you've held onto (Though these tears are falling)
Why can't I? Why can't I? (I will run to you, please still remember)
Beautiful (This will linger on)
Letting go of all you know is true (Your memory deeper than the oceans)
Why can't I let you go?
