Is It Still Beautiful
SEVENTEEN
Is It Still Beautiful
At first, being alone felt just fine
With choices and time all mine
I thought I’d erased your memory
I really believed that was true
But you know, when I wake up alone at dawn
And realize you’re not here with me
Tears I didn’t know I had start to fall
Has anything changed? The words that made me smile
Are they still the same as before?
I’ve changed, I don’t laugh like I used to
I’ve gotten weaker than when I met you
I mistook the days you understood me
As your way of holding me back
I couldn’t even say I loved you
Thinking it was just being a man
But you know, as I fill a blank page with your name
And call you just to hear your voice
Tears I didn’t know I had start to fall
Has anything changed? Is that smile I loved
Still as beautiful as it was?
I’ve changed, I don’t laugh like I used to
I’ve gotten weaker than when I met you
What about him? Does he treat you well
Enough to forget our days together?
You need to be happy, my shortcomings
Have found someone who can fill them in.
