Thing of Beauty ft. Lynnea Lyrics

Jet black marker

Pushing harder

As you scribble out my face

Tarnishing a work of art

Funny how we fall apart

Fooled to thinking

We were the real thing

Was it just the shiny frame

I thought we were a masterpiece

But I was just imagining

Now I'm collecting dust

So far from what was

We were a thing, a thing of beauty

But we faded over time

And now it's like you never knew me

You erased us from your mind

You took a new color

And you covered

The portrait underneath

We were a thing, a thing of beauty

But now the beauty can't be seen

Color swatches

Assessing your options

As you move on from me

Were we just a forgery

Tryna be the actual thing

Blank white canvas

Peeled off plastic

Displayed for all to see

Starting new so hastily

Thoughtlessly erasing me

Though you ripped my canvas heart to shreds

I’m learning to refashion it

Every brush stroke getting bolder

Brand new me hardly know her

We were a thing, a thing of beauty

But we faded over time

And now it's like you never knew me

You erased us from your mind

You took a new color

And you covered

The portrait underneath

We were a thing, a thing of beauty

But now the beauty can't be seen
