[Chorus]
In this perfection, I lament her beauty
Her voice, a sour note in this bitter serenade
In this perfection, I lament her beauty
Her voice, a sour note in this bitter serenade

[Verse 1]
And all these words I could have
Would have, should have said
Ring out like gunshots
Across long-lost days
If that wasn't love
Then what the fuck was I thinking?
I would bare my soul
Just to bask in your grace

[Pre-Chorus]
And your beauty
Your strength inspires all of my days
I would carry any load
Just to bear your cross for a day

Go!

[Chorus]
In this perfection, I lament her beauty
Her voice, a sour note in this bitter serenade
In this perfection, I lament her beauty
Her voice, a sour note in this bitter serenade
[Verse 2]
Your love fills me up
When the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone
When I feel every bone break

[Interlude: Spoken]
I'm built for pain
I swore to let no one in
And there you were
A vision of beauty

[Bridge 1]
It takes my breath away
You took my breath away
And it takes my breath away
How you took my breath away
And it takes my breath away
You took my breath away
And it takes my breath away
How you took my breath away

[Bridge 2]
How could I know that you
Would take my breath away?
And how could I know one kiss
Would change everything?
Your love fills me up
When the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone
When I feel every bone break
[Outro]
Your love fills me up
When the blood in my body's drained
And your strength is my backbone
When I feel every bone break
