You're pulled in all directions
Misconstrued and disconnected
You're falling at their feet
Giving in too easily
Your heart is in a constant
State of searching and falling
When it ends in tears
You don't fight, you disappear
And you just want to cry
And I'm telling you to try
To take the tears and turn them in
To something to find beauty in
This beautiful mess
This beautiful mess
This beautiful mess
That is life
You're full of all potential
But you're tired and you're letting go
You're crawling on your knees
Giving up too soon to see
Your world is a distraction
Its allure is false attraction
Somewhere down this road
You lost sight and all control
Now you just want to cry
And I'm telling you to try
To take the tears and turn them in
To something to find beauty in
This beautiful mess
This beautiful mess
This beautiful mess
That is life
You're full of light you won't let shine through
You're full of love you give up too soon
You're full of light you won't let shine through
You're full of love you give up too soon
And you just want to cry
And I'm telling you to try
To take the tears and turn them in
To something to find beauty in
And you just want to cry
And I'm telling you to try
To take the tears and turn them in
To something to find beauty in
This beautiful mess
This beautiful mess
This beautiful mess
That is life
