Beautiful
Kreesha Turner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't forget the things we used to do
Looking back now I see it was all on me
I threw it all away
It was beautiful, magical
Felt so natural and it could've been, baby
Oh, so beautiful, magical
Every thing I felt was true until
I came to you and sat we through
Explain I couldn't do, baby
Just know I try, timings just wasn't right, looking back I see it was
It was beautiful, magical
Felt so natural and it could've been, baby
Oh, so beautiful, magical
And we had it all but I threw it all away
Love, you gave plans we made
Sat up talking for hours and days pass me by, why? Oh, why?
Could it not be alive? Oh
Oh, so beautiful, magical
Felt so natural
Oh, so beautiful, magical
Almost had it all but I threw it all away
