Beautiful Girl

He said, look at the beautiful girl
Watch her as she looks away
She’s never going to change
What she wasn’t but thought she was
He said, I know what you know, love
I know you

She said, give me a beat
Give me a line, give me a song
Let me use what I know
To show you what I love, love
If you hear what I’m saying
Let it sit with you for a while
And resonate

They said, look at the beautiful girl
Watch her as she lights up
We never want her to change
What we don’t see but thought she was
They said, we think we know you, beautiful
They know her

She said, this is what I want for you
As I lay me down to sleep
Let me hold you in memory
If you knew what I knew, love
You’d turn away and never come back
But, then again, what do I know?
I watched you turn
I watched you turn around

He said, bring your enemies to me
I will crush them with one hand
And hold you with the other
Let me show you how I stand, love
What you never saw but knew I was
You watched me turn
But I did not turn on you

She said, I wondered who
And what you were doing this for (me, not me?)
You crushed them with one hand (did you even know?)
And held me with the other (did I even know?)
You are where I stand, love
I watched you turn
You did not turn on me

She is a beautiful girl
With him in mind
