The Way We Were

And it wasn't perfect
But it was beautiful
And beautiful was how you made me feel
And beautiful is how we were
Cause when it came down to it all there was was love
Beneath the petty fights
And all the useless tears
There was only love
Love we couldn't contain
And it exploded like nuclear war
Where the scars never quite fade
And the repercussions never stop coming
Because the love will always be there
And it will always hold the most bittersweet pain
Because we loved so much
It couldn't be contained
And I hope one day
We can still be beautiful
And the pain will fade and there will just be love
Because once there was you, there was no one else
You're all I ever dreamed of
And all I ever dream of
Is the beauty you saw in me
And the beauty of you
My beautiful boy, my beautiful man
And together we were beautiful
I hope one day that will be enough
Because there's beauty in imperfection
Maybe one day you'll see
And you'll miss being beautiful
