Bob Mould Let The Beauty Be Lyrics

Have you ever been tempted to cry
But you couldn't get the tears to collide
Maybe you weren't that sad
You were just lonely
You could take a walk in the park
Or stay out late at some seedy bar
It won't seem so bad, you'll shake it off

Have you ever really wanted to die?
Can you carry all the weight of your life
Time after time, your brain exploding
Don't worry, you'll be all right
We'll be waiting on the other side
It won't seem so bad, you'll shake it off Let the beauty be, don't ruin it for me
There's room for everyone
In the fog and in the sun

You've been living on the edge of a knife
Maybe this could be the time of your life
It's time to put it down and pick yourself up
So let the beauty be
Don't ruin it for me
It may not be too much but it's enough

Let the beauty be, don't ruin it for me
There's room for everyone
In the fog and in the sun
