I heard that you were home again But you don't look like you're back to me With your focuses changing You gaze is transfixed on a point That I can't often see
You've got your new ties I've got my old knots You've got your inside line But you're never happy with what you've got
Careful now, you're so beautiful When you've convinced yourself No one else is quite as beautiful
I heard that you were living well But you don't look like you're living to me Though the sparkle is gone Your smile is in place so that Everyone watching will see
You've got them all convinced But I know so well That you could list your friends But you can't count on them
Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced That you're all right When no one else is quite as vulnerable
As soon as you've got it You want something else It's not the sale that you love It's the sold
It's not the price That's gonna cost you It's just the wait That's gonna bring you down
Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced That you're all right When no one else is quite as vulnerable
Careful now, you're so beautiful When you've convinced yourself No one else is quite as beautiful
(You're so beautiful)
As soon as you've got it You want something else It's not the sale that you love It's the sold
It's not the price That's gonna cost you It's just the wait That's gonna bring you down
