Beautiful When You're Sad
Ricky Hil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you always this beautiful when your sad, you say
What we got now, is nothing like we had,
Ive been having withdraws, and they've been getting bad,
Y'all been gone and I miss y'all, it's making me sad

Pop it light it sip it pass it never tell her that you have it,
Kiss her fuck her miss her but you never tell her that you love her,
Where have you been, I've been over here, waiting on my own,
They don't know what's lonely mamma, but I know they know the tone,
Im looking at the walls, hoping that they'll fall, or just close in,
Im talking to myself, im talking to the dolls, I don't know them,
They could have their way with me, anytime they want,
But they never want to lay with me, at the times that im alone
Oh oh oh oh oh

Are you always this beautiful when your sad, you say
What we got now, is nothing like we had,
Ive been having withdraws, and they've been getting bad,
Y'all been gone and I miss y'all, it's making me sad

The fate of the mind that im in can't be safe,
If you'll let me know what you know
I won't be this way,
You never told me that you love me as many times I told you,
And I've been alone I see your voice and I don't know you,
So where have you been, all this drug abuse making me thin,
And that ain't me, and that ain't who I saw myself to be
And im running low, I bought it in the row,
The person that sold it to me said it make me cold,
I want you to know, if it was just different,
Then I would of tried to lifted your vision but ahh

Are you always this beautiful when your sad, you say
What we got now, is nothing like we had,




Ive been having withdraws, and they've been getting bad,
Y'all been gone and I miss y'all, it's making me sad

I'm looking at the walls, hoping that they'll fall, or just close in
I'm talking to myself, I'm talking to The Doors, I don't know them
