Reasons To Be Beautiful (Later With Jools Holland) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love hangs herself
With the bed sheets in her cell
Threw myself on fires for you
Ten good reasons to stay alive
Oh, ten good reasons that I can't find

[Chorus]
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body so sick in his soul
Oh, and I will make myself so beautiful
Oh, and everything I am

[Verse 2]
Love hates you
Well, I live my life in ruins for you
And for all your secrets kept
I squashed the blossom and the blossom's dead

[Chorus]
Oh, give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body so sick in his soul
Oh, givе me one reason to sеll you my soul
Oh, and everything I am

[Bridge]
Miles and miles of perfect skin
I swear I do, I fit right in
My love burns through everything
I cannot breathe
Miles and miles of perfect sin
I swear, I said, I fit right in
Fit right in your perfect skin
I cannot breathe
[Interlude]
Hey, baby, take it all the way down
Hey, baby, taste me anyway
Oh, you were born
So pretty, oh, summer babe
We'll never know
And fading like a rose

[Chorus]
Give me a reason to be beautiful
So sick in his body so sick in his soul
I'll give you my body just sell me your soul
Oh, and everything I am will be bought and sold
Oh, and everything I am will turn hard and cold

[Verse 3]
And they say in the end
You'll get bitter just like them
And they steal your heart away
When the fire goes out you better learn to fake
It's better to rise than fade away

[Outro]
Hey, you were right
Named a star for your eyes
Did you freeze? Did you weep?
Turn to gold, baby, sleep
Hey, honey mine
I was there all the time
And I weep at your feet
And it rains and rains
There is none

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
