Beauty and Loss

[Intro]
She’s doing fine, Daddy’s princess, bright as an angel, fierce as a devil’s kiss.
She plays her cards, exploits the game, chasing dollar signs, never feeling shame.

[Verse 1]
Thought I was careful, honest in my ways, gave my all, lost it all in the haze.
A man of kindness, bound by my rules, now she’s tired, fed up, breaking the tools.

[Pre-Chorus]
Why now? After all the chaos, now she’s ready to own the loss.
She wants me, she thinks I’ll be new, but she’s carried too much that’s untrue.

[Chorus]
Beauty fades, but what’s inside, follows me through the storm and tide.
She’s beautiful, but I see the pain, behind her eyes, the silent rain.
I don’t want illusions, I want the real, not a saint’s mask or a sinner’s deal.

[Verse 2]
She’s been through battles, worn her scars, betrayed her own heart behind these bars.
Could she be repentant, or just in disguise? Trust is a flame that flickers and dies.

[Bridge]
Maybe she’s tired, maybe she’s wrong, but I’ve been lost for too long.
Waiting for love that’s pure and true, not just a shadow of what she used to do.

[Outro]
So I’ll hold my ground, watch her walk away, hope she finds peace someday.
Her beauty’s fleeting, but what she’s lost, might be something she can’t cross.
And I’ll keep what’s mine, inside and deep, dreams I’ll hold and secrets I keep.
