Beautiful Life Lyrics

I wrote a letter, but I didn't send it

That's what a video online said to do

It broke my heart as I recalled our history

And then remembered how the things you said came true

You always told me not to worry about the others

To trust in God that He'll show me the way

And don't let shame take my chance to find another

Well, that's harder to do than to say

And I remember when we caught fireflies

And you stayed up all night to make sure I'm alright

I remember how you'd look into my eyes and say

Girl, it's a beautiful life

I'm sorry cause I know you knew me better

Than anyone in life had ever known

Ooo and man, it makes me sad to think about all that we had

And how we met in undergrad and now you're gone

But I know that this one's my fault

I'm the one who picked up, couldn't bear to bear it all

And I thought I did all I could

So then I did what I do best, I ran away from you

And I remember when we caught fireflies

And you stayed up all night to make sure I'm alright

I remember how you'd look into my eyes and say

Girl, it's a beautiful life

Hate to admit it, but I think about you often

Your words echo in my mind all day long

And I look down at my hand and I just can't understand

How I could place another man where you belong

And what about all of those songs we stayed up writing all night long?

The way you'd listen till the dawn, wipe my tears until they're gone

I just wish it could make sense, I guess this really is the end

Said you knew it all along, and in the end that I'd be gone

I won't remember when we caught fireflies

I didn't stay up all night, cause I'm finally alright

I remember how I felt when I realized that

Girl, it's a beautiful life

And now I see, it's a beautiful life

It'll always be a beautiful life
