[Verse 1]
I’m sorry, sweetheart
You just weren’t meant
For this cold, cruel, unforgiving world
You didn’t deserve this
No, you didn’t deserve this
All the shadows, all the hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
You were much too beautiful
You were much too fragile
A light too bright to last
And they never understood you
Never even tried to
They just turned away so fast
[Chorus]
Fuck this place
And all the hearts too hard to feel
Someday, maybe humankind will learn
To stop hating what we don’t understand
What doesn’t fit into their narrow plans
But you—
You were too beautiful for this world
[Verse 2]
I see your face
In the quiet of the night
And all the love you tried to give
Still burning in my mind
I wish I could have saved you
Built a shelter from the storm
But your spirit was too tender
And your heart too pure and warm
[Pre-Chorus]
You were much too beautiful
You were much too fragile
A bloom in bitter frost
And they never even saw you
Never even knew you
Till your light was lost
[Chorus]
Fuck this place
And all the hearts too hard to feel
Someday, maybe humankind will learn
To stop hating what we don’t understand
What doesn’t fit into their narrow plans
But you—
You were too beautiful for this world
[Bridge]
Maybe in some other life
Some gentler sky, some kinder time
You’d still be shining here with me
Unbroken, unafraid, and free
[Chorus]
Fuck this place
And all the hearts too hard to feel
Someday, maybe humankind will learn
To stop hating what we don’t understand
What doesn’t fit into their narrow plans
But you—
You were too beautiful for this world
[Outro]
Too beautiful
Too beautiful
You were too beautiful for this world
