you stand with the gun in your hand
staring at the wall with a look so sad
and thinking about who really cares
and will they even notice if I just disappeared now?

one bang, blood rushed to the head
she'd rather fly through the sky than walk with the dead
so, she stays high while the world goes by
and just another day here waiting to die

life is beautiful
you share a little love with the whole wide world
every boy and girl sing along
when we sing why-o, why-o

and she cries but her man denies
it's funny how love comes with so many lies
and he said he’d never do it again
so she puts on a smile and she starts to pretend

she hides all the pain inside
by filling up her arms with pretty little lines
she cuts with no intent to kill
this time she didn’t do it but someday she will

life is beautiful
you share a little love with the whole wide world
every boy and girl sing a song
when we sing why-o, why-o

and hey, you’re beautiful
and there’s enough love for the whole wide world
every boy and girl sing along
when we sing why-o, why-o

and hey,
I know that you can find a way
you’re beautiful to me
no matter what the people say
it's all gonna be okay
you’re beautiful to me

too weak, too weary to try
too angry inside, well, so am I
I’m all alone with nobody else
so in need of help,
I keep reminding myself...

that life is beautiful
you share a little love with the whole wide world
every boy and girl sing a song
when we sing why-o, why-o

and hey, you’re beautiful
and there’s enough love for the whole wide world
every boy and girl sing along
when we sing why-o, why-o

and hey,
I know that you can find a way
you’re beautiful to me
you’re beautiful
you’re beautiful
no matter what the people say
it’s all gonna be okay
you’re beautiful to me
you’re beautiful
you’re beautiful
and it’s all gonna end someday
it’s all gonna fade away
you’re beautiful to me
you’re beautiful to me
you’re beautiful to me
you’re beautiful to me
you’re beautiful to me
