beautiful day

let's play a game of pretend
when everything we said
made sense
a simple time when you and I
didn't know about the
battles that raged inside
i've lost count of the times
i've wished we could go back
to the that beautiful lie
we lived in

(chorus)
a beautiful day where flowers prayed
and we frolicked through the ocean waves
hand in hand we hoped to stay
in our beautiful day (x2)
before we fell in love

summer came and went
a blur of sunshine in our icy states
i swear you cracked a smile
on our first date
that first date
set our course
you kissed my hand and
i laughed
hoping that deep inside
summer you was
still alive
because you were the one that told me
pretty eyes can't lie

(chorus)

and finally winter came home
an everlasting world of contradictions
where did our beautiful world go? (x2)
where did our summer selves go? (x2)
there's a ring on your finger. you're married
to somebody else.
a beautiful girl you've been chasing down for so many years
we met on hollywood and venice...
where did our...(x3)
oh oh...whoah...(x3)
you have a happy family, waiting for you.
i have a broken heart, who knew this is how it would go.
(Bridge)
(where did our beautiful world go...? x2)
where did our beautiful lie go?
it was so amazing before you told me...
you loved me.
(chorus + bridge)
fade out
let's play a game of pretend when everything we said made sense.
