E verybody k nows we live in a world
where they give bad names to beau tiful thi ngs
E verybody k nows we live in a world
where we don't g ive beautiful th ings a seco nd glanc e
H eaven only k nows we live in a w orld
where what we call beautiful is ju st somet hing on sa le
P eople laug hing behind their h ands
As the fragile an d the sensitiv e ar e given no chance
A nd the leaves tu rn from r ed to brown
T o be trodden d own
T o be trodden down
A nd the leaves t urn from r ed to b rown
F all t o the g round
F all to the ground
W e don't have to live in a w orld w here
We gi ve ba d names to beaut iful things
W e should l ive in a b eautiful world
W e sh ould give be autiful a s econd glance
A nd the leaves f all from red to brown
T o be trodden d own
T rodden down
A nd the leaves t urn green to red to brown
F all to the gro und
A nd get kicked around
Y ou strong e nough to b e
H ave you the f aith to b e
S ane e nough to b e
H onest enough to s ay
D on't have to be the s ame
D on't have t o be this w ay
C 'mon and sign your n ame
Y ou wild enough t o remain b eautiful?
B eautiful
A ll the leaves t urn from red to brown
T o be trodden d own
