So Damn Beautiful
Lyrics and Music by Dan Holguin (Dan Holguin Music ASCAP 2010)

I hope this doesn't scare you
I can't run from the truth
You know how I feel and I'm trying to deal with
Falling out of my blue
And I can't believe how you've already
Broken down my guard
Using brick after brick, building wall after wall
I used to run from them all

And now I see so clearly
Crying and swaying
These day's I often write what I should be saying
If I lit this book on fire
And threw it past my hearts desire
It would be the shooting star I would use
And this could start

CHORUS:
But you think he's perfect
And every word he says is
So damn beautiful
I cannot keep this inside
My fists all clenched up
I'm bound and tied by my feet
I know he's what you want but
I'm right here and I could be
Exactly what you need

So when you need me
Could you please be helpless and alone
So can break your fall and repair it all
No matter how bad the damage
Then I can pretend when take my hand
You've finally come to your senses
I've got to call you my own
I've lost control
I knew this would happen

Theses pages are cages of rages
I've never said until now
I'm about to uncover the worst thing I've ever harbored
Two journals later and I'm only better
At compromise
There's no more fear
There's just that line I wish you'd find

CHORUS:
But you think he's perfect
And every word he says is
So damn beautiful
I cannot keep this inside
My fists all clenched up
I'm bound and tied by my feet
I know he's what you want but
I'm right here and I could be
Exactly what you need

But you think he's perfect
And I just heard he belongs to you now
As I stand in this hall
I see your light on
You're getting ready to go to his house
Quietly screaming my dreams just keep bleeding
Why can't you see
I'm exactly what you need

I'm not perfect, but I could make your world so damn beautiful
