Beautiful Tragedy Songtext

von Lisa Brokop

If I painted over you
Another shade of blue
The color would still show through
Still be easy to see

Another page I've turned
Another lesson learned
Another healing hurt
That I wear on my sleeve

It's part of me like an old friend
The good, the bad, the start and the end

- Even roses have thorns
And rainbows have rain
And the bitters right next to the sweet
So I take all the storms
And I take all the pain
Throw in the good times
And weave 'em up magically
Into my tapestry
All my life's meant to be's
In a beautiful tragedy

Shakespeare couldn't write
A sweeter sacrifice
A tale of fire and ice
Of oceans and stars

The woman standing here
Is the sum of all my tears
And all that I hold dear
Is the soul of this heart

I know how to walk 'cause I've crawled
I know how to fly 'cause I've learned how to fall
