More Than Beautiful

[Verse 1]
I woke up in a room that knew your name
Sunlight hit the frame where your picture used to hang
The silence wasn’t quiet, it was howling through the walls
And I swear I saw your shadow in the hall

[Pre-Chorus]
You left like rain leaves roses, quiet, but it stains
And I’ve been tracing every whisper back to you again

[Chorus]
How could I have ever thought
You were anything but whole
You held the weight of heaven
In a body they called “cold”
Your love was not a weakness
It was symphony and flame
And I would give my last breath
Just to hear you say my name

[Verse 2]
I found your note beneath the kitchen light
Words you never said out loud, but tried to write
It said, “Don’t forget the way you saw me when I broke.”
But darling, every crack in you was gold

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a silence here where you used to live
And the mirror shows a face that I can’t forgive

[Chorus]
How could I have ever thought
You were anything but light
You fought your wars in silence
And still held me in the night
Your heart was made of thunder
But you spoke like morning rain
And I would tear the sky in two
Just to hold you once again

[Bridge]
You were never less than beautiful
You were never just the pain
You were fire on a sinking ship
And I loved you through the flames

[Final Chorus]
How could I have ever thought
You were anything but more
Than every song I’ll ever write
And every heart I’ve ever known
You were not a fleeting moment
You were the healer of my pain
And I would live a thousand lives
Just to hold you once again

[Outro]
You were more than beautiful…
You were everything.
