Let The Beauty Be Lyrics - Beauty & Ruin - Bob Mould

Have you ever been tempted to cry 

But you couldn't get the tears to collide 

Maybe you weren't that sad 

You were just lonely 

You could take a walk in the park 

Or stay out late in some seedy bar 

It won't seem so bad, you'll shake it off 

Have you ever really wanted to die 

Can you carry all the weight of the life 

Time after time your brain exploding 

Don't worry it'll be alright 

They'll be waiting on the other side 

It won't seem so bad, you'll shake it off 

Let the beauty be 

Don't ruin it for me 

There's room for everyone in the fog and in the sun 

You've been living on the edge of a knife 

Maybe this could be the time of your life 

It's time to put it down and pick yourself up 

So let the beauty be 

Don't ruin it for me 

It may not be too much but it's enough 

Let the beauty be 

Don't ruin it for me 

There's room for everyone in the fog and in the sun
