A Beautiful Tragedy

“A Beautiful Tragedy”

She smiles when she’s broken
With more heaven than a heart can hold
She said she’d love you again
With this heavy heart and soul
But she leaves these words unspoken
Deep in corners to grow old
And just like childhood dreams
Held down by heavy strings
These words never grew old
Cause tragedies never grow old

She’s breathing sunsets and car crashes
Wishing on bright stars lost at sea
Praying with midnight fairytales
Singing these catastrophes
Cause she wanted to be so much more
So much more than what you need
So much more than this…
This beautiful tragedy

She’s breaking down like fireworks
Beauty all around
She’s lighting the world colorful
And still she’s falling down
Her reflection’s dancing back at her
Through tears on the cold ground
She’s swimming in her pool
Dancing till she drowns
And she predicts you’re out of rescues
For tragedies wouldn’t save her now
No, tragedies couldn't save her now

She’s breathing sunsets and car crashes
Wishing on bright stars lost at sea
Praying with midnight fairytales
Singing these catastrophes
Cause she wanted to be so much more
So much more than what you need
So much more than this…

You said she’s just an accident
You said she’s just a girl to regret
Some beauty you’ll forget
And she said she’d love you again
She said she’d love you again
This beautiful tragedy

So she’s dying in sunsets and car crashes
Broken on bright stars lost at sea
She’s expired with midnight fairytales
And yelling these catastrophes
Cause she wanted to be so much more
So much more than what you need
So much more than this…
This beautiful tragedy
And it’s all just a…
A beautiful tragedy
