Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love hangs herself
With the bedsheets in her cell
Threw myself on fires for you
Ten good reasons to stay alive
Ten good reasons that I can't find
[Verse 2]
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So, sick in his body, so, sick in his soul
Oh, give me one reason to be beautiful
Oh, and everything I am
[Verse 3]
Love hates you
I live my life in ruins for you
And for all your secrets kept
I squashed the blossom and the blossom's dead
[Verse 4]
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So, sick in his body, so, sick in his soul
Oh, and I will make myself so beautiful
Oh, and everything I am
[Verse 5]
Miles and miles of perfect skin
I swear I do, I fit right in
My love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
[Verse 6]
Miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear, I said, I fit right in
I fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe
[Verse 7]
Hey, baby, take it all the way down
Hey, baby, taste me anyway
Oh, you were born
So pretty, oh, summer babe
We'll never know
And fading like a rose
[Verse 8]
Give me a reason to beautiful
So sick in his body, so sick in his soul
I'll give you my body, just sell me your soul
Oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold
Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold
[Verse 9]
And they say in the end
You'll get bitter just like them
And they steal your heart away
When the fire goes out you better learn to fake
It's better to rise than fade away
[Verse 10]
Hey, you were right
Named a star for your eyes
Did you freeze, did you weep
Turn to gold, baby, sleep
[Verse 11]
Hey, honey mine
I was there all the time
And I weep at your feet
And it rains and rains
