Track 14 – „Beautiful When You Break“

[Intro – Male whisper] Don't cry. [Pause] Actually... do. [Verse 1 – Female] You always knew when I was weakest Always called me at the right time You knew exactly how to hold me When the whole world wasn't kind You said nobody understood me Nobody loved me quite like you And every time I started healing Something happened Something you would do [Pre-Chorus – Female] You kissed the bruises You created Then called yourself the cure [Chorus – Female] YOU SAY I'M BEAUTIFUL WHEN I BREAK! BEAUTIFUL WHEN I'M BEGGING YOU TO STAY! YOU LOVE ME BETTER WHEN I'M TOO WEAK TO WALK AWAY! YOU DON'T WANT MY HEART! YOU WANT THE PIECES YOU CAN TAKE! YOU DON'T LOVE ME! YOU JUST THINK I'M BEAUTIFUL WHEN I BREAK! [Verse 2 – Male, calm] I only want to protect you You know what people are like Your friends never really knew you Your family never got you right Stay home tonight You're tired Let me turn your phone off There See? It's quieter when it's only us [Female] That's what you always said [Male] Because it's true [Female] No Because silence made me easier for you [Pre-Chorus – Female] Every door you closed around me You called another kind of love But cages don't become heaven Just because they're built from hugs [Chorus] YOU SAY I'M BEAUTIFUL WHEN I BREAK! BEAUTIFUL WHEN I'M BEGGING YOU TO STAY! YOU LOVE ME BETTER WHEN I'M TOO WEAK TO WALK AWAY! YOU DON'T WANT MY HEART! YOU WANT THE PIECES YOU CAN TAKE! YOU DON'T LOVE ME! YOU JUST THINK I'M BEAUTIFUL WHEN I BREAK! [Post-Chorus – distorted male] Beautiful... Beautiful... [Female] Shut up. [Instrumental – distorted cello / heavy guitars] [Bridge – Male] Who will love you like I do? [Female] Someone who doesn't hurt me. [Male] Who knows you like I do? [Female] Someone who lets me know myself. [Male] You'll come back. [Female] Maybe I would have. Once. [Male] You need me. [Silence] [Female] That's the lie that kept me here. [Breakdown] YOU BROKE ME SO YOU COULD HOLD ME! STARVED ME SO I'D TAKE YOUR HAND! MADE ME TERRIFIED OF FREEDOM THEN CALLED YOURSELF MY ONLY CHANCE! YOU DON'T GET TO CUT MY WINGS AND CALL IT LOVE WHEN I CAN'T FLY! LOOK AT ME! I'M STILL STANDING! AND YOU DON'T GET TO ASK ME WHY! [Choir] Walk! Walk! Walk! [Final Chorus] YOU SAID I'M BEAUTIFUL WHEN I BREAK! NOW WATCH HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM WHEN I WALK AWAY! I DON'T NEED YOUR HANDS TO PUT ME BACK TOGETHER AGAIN! KEEP EVERY PRETTY LITTLE LIE YOU USED TO MAKE ME STAY! I WAS NEVER BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE YOU BROKE ME! I WAS BEAUTIFUL ANYWAY! [Choir] Anyway! Anyway! [Outro – Female] You were right about one thing. [Male, distant] What? [Female] You never knew how strong I was. [Door closes]
