So Beautiful
Like Monroe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When smoke drowns out your sorrows and
your bones are left to hollow,
Where's your fear;
and where do you belong?
With every step made closer to
insanity, what do you hope to find?
To find.
You can break away from what's so beautiful.
Why do we give a damn if there's no choice,
no choice at all?

Time after time
I couldn't say what I thought
'Cause I was so afraid.
Day after day,
I let my feelings be caged.
Help me turn the page;
save me, hate me, break me.
Someone please take me, take me, take me.
Take what's left to bleed.
Save me, hate me, break me.
I feel so empty, empty, empty.
Can I show the beauty?
There's more than just scenery.

You can break away from what's so beautiful.
Why do we give a damn if there's no choice,
no choice at all?
Break away before you lose it all.
Why do we give a damn if there's no choice,
no choice at all?

My darkest of days.
I can't believe all that's changed.
My darkest of days.
I can't ignore all my pain.
My darkest of days.

You can break away from what's so beautiful.
Why do we give a damn if there's no choice,
no choice at all?
Break away before you lose it all.
Why do we give a damn if there's no choice,




no choice at aaaall?!!!
No choice, no choice at aaaaaaaall
