"Beauty And The Mess"

blue waters blue eyes color me
if any [bad word] this close I'd let them see
get it out again and play 'em one more song
it's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong

ain't that what you want them to know?
all they get of you is what they get out of the show
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess
to hide

I pull myself under and down I go again
it's just a little bit hard letting them in
looking at the world through elusive eyes
I hide in the spotlight it's a great disguise

ain't that what you want them to know?
all they all they get of you is what they get out of the show
the rest is mine, I guess, the beauty and the mess
to hide

behind the melody the words don't mean a thing
but every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away
behind the melody the words don't mean a thing
but every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away
behind the melody the words don't mean a thing
but every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away

ain't that what you want them to know?
all they all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the 
show
the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess...
ain't that what you want them to know?
all they get of you is what they get out of the show
the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess 
the rest the rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess the rest the rest is 
mine I guess I guess the beauty and the mess: to hide
