Beautiful Girl
Broken Iris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Woke today, another memory passes of you
Shades of gray from those three broken words
That unfold the truth but...

I'll never forget those eyes, that beautiful smile.
I still remember the way you said "good-bye"
No matter how hard I try I can't forget about
Beautiful Girl
On top of the world
Don't fall down
Because an angel
Should never touch ground

Last embrace, forcing you away before it's too late
I end this day in a most bitter way
A regretful state but...

I'll never forget those eyes, that beautiful smile.
I still remember the way you said "good-bye"
No matter how hard I try I can't forget about

Beautiful Girl
On top of the world
Don't fall down
Because an angel
Should never touch ground

Here I lay, I drift away, you come in and lay beside me
It's got to be a memory that feels so real but just beyond me
Mesmerized, In you I find what I had was unrealized but
Emptiness settles in as I awake

Beautiful Girl
On top of the world
Don't fall down




Because an angel
Should never touch ground

Woke today, another memory passes of you
Another day begins with a memory of you coming to my mind


Shades of gray from those three broken words
The truth was revealed by your few words, and it's no longer black or white but a confusing shade of gray

Even though the truth is revealed, it doesn't make things easier

Your beautiful smile and the sparkle in your eyes stay etched in my memory forever

The way you said goodbye lingers on my mind


No matter how hard I try I can't forget about

Beautiful Girl
You are a beautiful girl, both inside and out


On top of the world
You are someone who is at their peak and successful in everything they do

I hope that you never lose your success or happiness


Because an angel
You are like an angel to me

Our last hug was filled with desperation to let you go before it is too late


I end this day in a most bitter way
The end of the day leaves me feeling bitter and empty

I feel regretful, but I know it's too late to change anything now


Here I lay, I drift away, you come in and lay beside me
As I lay down, I drift off into sleep, and you appear beside me like a dream


It's got to be a memory that feels so real but just beyond me
I can't shake off the feeling that you are more than just a memory and something tangible to me, but it is only beyond my reach


Mesmerized, In you I find what I had was unrealized but
Being near you mesmerizes me and realizes what it means to be in a situation where I have missed out on something crucial


Emptiness settles in as I awake
As I wake up, I feel the emptiness of not having you next to me anymore
