Bet On Beauty

Well I let you down again For the thousandth time today And I just can't seem to find What it is I'm supposed to say All my words are falling short Of their mark inside my head And only cinders still remain Of the roses in their beds But if, by chance I could find the light And if my hands could be pacified By love, by you By the trials they put us through By hope, by life By the tears I held inside By new, by old By the dogs within my soul By right, by truth By the peace we never knew Woah Woah 'Cause it ain't fair And it ain't easy When you're trying to fight the pain So bet on love Bet on beauty On the chance to rise again Well I saw you out in town In the same old sweet routine In the violence of the crowd Wearing tears you would't sing And I couldn't quite work out How to bridge this great divide In the darkness of the evening How to reach those failing eyes But if, by chance I could find the light And if my hands could be pacified By love, by you By the trials they put us through By hope, by life By the tears I held inside By new, by old By the dogs within my soul By right, by truth By the peace we never knew Woah Woah 'Cause it ain't fair And it ain't easy When you're trying to fight the pain So bet on love Bet on beauty On the chance to rise again Oh don't go tell me that the best that you had is behind And don't believe them when they tell you you're out of your mind Your obligation is to work out what's right and what's wrong Our great obsession is to end up just where we belong Woah Woah 'Cause it ain't fair And it ain't easy When you're trying to fight the pain So bet on love Bet on beauty On the chance to rise again Woah Woah
