take a step, take a breath
an ordinary day-to-day routine
while your life falls apart, nothing's changed
the world keeps spinning

take a walk in the park
blank stares straight ahead
but the birds keep on singing their tunes
above your head

and you know how you're loved so
but not anymore by him,
yet his voice still remains in your mind
like the birds you passed by

do whatever you need
to feel as though you're still complete
keep your eyes closed,
there's beauty in everything if you know to create it

and you know how you're loved so
but not anymore by him,
yet his voice still remains in your mind

and you go back to where you know
where nothing can hurt you
and the birds sing the songs that you love

though you long for his love
the beauty of love.

hey stranger,
used to read your mind just like a book
and i am only as in love with you
as you can spare a look
hey disaster,
won't you go ahead and bring me down
because i have no use for feeling empty
guess i'll be seeing you around

what a beautiful, beautiful heartache
from such a radical, terrible mistake

but it's mine to keep and mine to love
because no one else can fill me up
i am so weak and vulnerable
but you only love me when i am strong
so i'll try to be strong.

hey lonely,
go ahead and rip my heart in two
you can take your toll on me
as long as i don't keep any of you
hey lovely,
i knew that you were a storm
but i continued to walk into you
like i hadn't been warned

what a beautiful, beautiful heartache
from such a radical, terrible mistake

but it's mine to keep and mine to love
because no one else can fill me up
i am so weak and vulnerable
but you only love me when i am strong
so i'll try to be strong.
