It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful
Slow Club Lyrics

She said the sleepers on tracks have woken up
She said that our situation has come to an end

It's the end of the line I guess our luck is up
Our luck is finally over and our time is up

It was fun while it lasted cause nothing ever does
Although it was enjoyable, nothing lasts forever

Love has lost its meaning and it was wasted on us
Our love has lost its value and was a waste of time

In the electrical storm you were running wild
During the chaotic and unstable situation, you were acting recklessly

You had a death wish you were a child
You were behaving carelessly and irresponsibly like a child who wished to die

I came to bearing a lightning bolt
I came to you with my powerful influence like a bolt of lightning

If you came back as the deep sea, I would come back as the salt
If you were to return as your true self, I would also return to my original state as a part of you

It's like your head is stuck in a tightening vise
Your mind seems to be trapped in a stressful and difficult situation

Your ears are deaf to your friends? advice
You are not listening to the advice of your close friends

Because you know that your heart will never be full
You feel that you can never be truly satisfied in matters of the heart

It doesn't always have to be beautiful
Not everything needs to be perfect or beautiful

Unless its beautiful
Except in those rare cases where beauty is everything

Okay leave now leave now if you just can't stay
If you cannot handle staying any longer, it's better to leave now

Because there?s nothing worse than somebody pretending away
It's worse to pretend to be involved than to quit while things are still good

The years of their youth they will never get back
Youth is fleeting, and time cannot be reversed

So I'll go home and practice the traits you said I lacked
I will work on improving myself using the advice you gave me

Like listening to the thunder of your heart
I need to pay closer attention to the emotions and desires of others

And how with every other beat we grew further apart
We slowly and inevitably became more distant and conflicted

Love is always going to be hard to you both
Love will always be challenging and require effort from both parties

Never thinking that you'll ever love anyone else as much
It's difficult to imagine ever loving someone as deeply as you once did

But it?s ugly, it?s ugly now yeah I know
The current state of things is unpleasant and unfortunate

But you never give things enough time to grow
You tend to give up on things too quickly before they have a chance to develop

It's like driving through a carnival
Life is unpredictable and full of surprises, both good and bad

Baby I know it's over
I understand that our relationship has ended

Tell me (please) wait ?til you're sober
Before we do anything, please wait until you're fully sober to make a decision

Now we know it?s true
We have finally come to accept the reality of our situation

The waiting never quite felt like waiting
The time spent waiting for each other didn't feel like typical waiting

When the waiting was with you
I enjoyed the time spent waiting for you, regardless of the outcome

So let me tell you tell you a thing or two
Allow me to impart some wisdom to you

About how to survive when there is a me and a you
Let me provide some insight into how to cope with a challenging relationship

It's awful, it's gruesome, it's something, it's cruel
Dealing with a difficult relationship is hard and often painful

Forever you will ask God if this happened to you
You may question why you had to go through this experience for the rest of your life

?Cause I'm always thinking, thinking about where you are
I can't stop thinking about your whereabouts and what you're doing

Who you're with and if your mind is far
I wonder who you're spending time with and if you're mentally distant

From what we do when we're alone
I can't help but compare our past privacy to our current situation

Love is too much for me and now the wall needs to grow
The weight of love is too heavy for me to bear, and now I need to create distance
