Pink - Beautiful Trauma Album Lyrics

We were on fire
I slashed your tires
It's like we burned so bright we burned out
I made you chase me
I wasn't that friendly
My love, my drug, we're f*cked up, oh

'Cause I've been on the run so long they can't find me
You waking up to remember I'm pretty
And when the chemicals leave my body
Yeah, they're gonna find me in a hotel lobby 'cause

These tough times they keep coming
All night laughing and f*cking
Some days like I'm barely breathing
Then after we were high and the love dope died, it was you

The pill I keep taking
The nightmare I'm waking
There's nothing, no nothing, nothing but you
My perfect rock bottom
My beautiful trauma
My love, my love, my drug, oh

My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my drug, we're f*cked up

You punched a hole in
The wall and I framed it
I wish I could feel things like you
Everyone's chasing
That holy feeling
And if we don't stay lit, we'll blow out
Blow out

'Cause we've been on the run so long they can't find us
Who's gonna have to die to remind us
That it feels like we chose this blindly
Now I'm gonna f*ck up a hotel lobby 'cause

These tough times they keep coming
Last night I might have messed it up again
Some days like I'm barely breathing
Then after we were high and the love dope died, it was you

The pill I keep taking
The nightmare I'm waking
There's nothing, no nothing, nothing but you
My perfect rock bottom
My beautiful trauma
My love (my love), my love, my drug, oh

My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my love, my drug, oh
My love, my love, my drug, we're f*cked up

These tough times they keep coming
All night laughing and f*cking
Some days like I'm barely breathing
Then after we were high and the love dope died, it was you

The pill I keep taking
The nightmare I'm waking
There's nothing, no nothing, nothing but you
My perfect rock bottom
My beautiful trauma
My love, my love, my drug, oh

Like Leo in The Revenant
Abel in that Bible bit
Revenge is sweet isn't it?
Really, really hope for it
I know that it won't fix a thing
A song like this that I could sing for you
All the feels you make me do
A nightmare f*cking coming true
I wish I was a lawyer, I would sue you
Sue you, take your dog, take your house
Take your shoes, take your heart
Now here comes that singing part

I'm daydreaming
Let me count the ways (let me count the ways)
How I'll get you (get you) or how I'll make you pay (ohh)
Babe, I'm hurtin' (hurtin')
And now you'll feel the same (ooh)
That's my plan (that's my plan)
That's my plan
That's my plan

We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet
We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge (now, now)
Revenge is sweet

Now here's where girlfriends come in hand
Especially those that understand
Crime's a crime but listen, man
Really cannot give a damn
We've all been through this kind of thing
Say the word we make it sting for him
He can't just get away with it
Eye for eye you piece of shhh
You treat us like a garbage pit
Let me at him, wait for it
Wait for it, wait for it (wait for it)
Here's that singing part again (yeah)

I'm daydreaming (I'm daydreaming)
Let me count the ways (let me count the ways)
How I'll get you (I'll get you)
Or how I'll make you pay (you pay)
Babe, I'm hurtin' (I'm hurtin')
And now you'll feel the same (feel the same)
That's my plan
That's my plan
That's my plan

We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet (oh, revenge is sweet)
We could do revenge revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet (revenge is sweet)

Well, in the beginning we felt like we was meant to be
I fell for you and skinned my knee, but hell with any injury
Eventually you'll get up gingerly
Feels like it'll take a century to heal, but just know that I will
But f*ck trying to make amends, I'd rather take revenge
You're stickin' safety pins inside my atrium, your day begins at eight PM
You hit the ATM in my Mercedes Benz with all your lady friends, whores
Hit the club and you go out, don't know a sum
'Cause when I calculate the times you cheated
And I totaled up all the amounts it doesn't add up
'Cause you say that just giving out your number doesn't count
Get it (I hate you)
Then see me with someone new get mad and flip it look how bad you spin it
First you turn your back on me then tell me that I stabbed you in it
Stabbed you in it, stabbed you in it, stabbed you in it
Stabbed you in it, slut
So when you're driving, driving to his house
And you pass me while I'm driving to hers
Just remember you cheated on me first (bitch)
You're a whore, you're a whore (I mean)
This is war

Fellas, ladies

We could do revenge, revenge, revenge, revenge
Together, together, together (ohh)
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet (so sweet, oh)
We could do revenge revenge, revenge, revenge (uh)
Together, together, together (uh, uh)
We could take revenge, revenge, revenge
Revenge is sweet

F*ck, yeah
F*ck, no

Okay
(So)

Running like a dog
Fighting like a bitch too much
And you just can't stand it, baby
Even when I fall
You don't seem to give two shits
'Cause you're just too cool, baby
We could have it all
Neither one of us would budge
'Cause we can't be wrong, baby
Folding up your arms, closing up your heart

I know, I know, I know you think it's me, 'cause I want it all
I know, I know, I know, I know you see, do we gotta talk
No, you know, you know we must believe or fall apart

I feel like our ship's going down tonight
But it's always darkest before the light
And that's enough for me to try
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, ah-ah-ah
Even if I say that it's over now
Even if we want to move on somehow
And just like that we come alive
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, ah-ah-ah

Tryna to get a breath
Thinkin' 'bout the time you said that I was your heart, baby
Tryna understand how a grown man goes on without a body part, baby
I could walk away
I could always cash my chips and I'd be okay, baby
I would be okay, and you might be okay

Oh, I know, I know, I know you think it's me 'cause you want it all
I know, I know, I know, I know you see, do we gotta talk
No, you know, you know we must believe
You're enough for me

I feel like our ship's going down tonight
But it's always darkest before the light
And that's enough for me to try
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, ah-ah-ah
Even if I say that it's over now
Even if we want to move on somehow
And just like that we come alive
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do

Whoever said that love was sweet
(Drank a little too much whiskey, baby)
Whoever said that life was easy
(Never lived anywhere near me)
I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause you're the one I wanna sink with

I feel like our ship's going down tonight
But it's always darkest before the light
And that's enough
Even if I say that it's over now
Even if we want to move on somehow
And just like that we come alive
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, ah-ah-ah
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, oh-oh-oh
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, ah-ah-ah
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Whatever you do, oh-oh-oh

La da da da da, la da da da da
Da da da

We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?

We are problems that want to be solved
We are children that need to be loved
We were willin', we came when you called
But, man, you fooled us, enough is enough, oh

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
What about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?

Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?

Sticks and stones, they may break these bones
But then I'll be ready, are you ready?
It's the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I'll be ready
I don't want control, I want to let go
Are you ready? I'll be ready
'Cause now it's time to let them know
We are ready, what about us?

What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
So what about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
Oh, what about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
Oh, what about love? What about trust?
What about us?

What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?

They say everything is temporary
Who the hell are they anyways?
I wanna know where does love go to die
Is it some sad empty castle in the sky?
Did we just shoot too high and spoil like wine?

You walk by, and I sigh. Our bodies never touch.
No love, you hold me close, but I don't feel much
I cry, maybe time isn't on our side
We had a thing, but we lost it
One more go, I kinda thought if we took it slow
It might be easier for us, yeah, for us to know
I know we never been quite here before
I wish I knew it when we lost it

You used to try to wake the beast in me
There's still a very sleepy part of me inside
I've been waiting to come alive
You stared into my eyes and turned to stone
And now I'm living all alone in these four walls

There's a stranger, he's lying in my bed
Kinda blank like the thoughts living in my head
This is the one that I felt I knew so well
I think we had it, but we lost it
Still the girl that you chased all around the world
I haven't changed, just replaced all the chains with pearls
I want the same things we did back then
I know we had it, but we lost it

Oh, the bone breaks
It grows back stronger
Oh, the bone breaks
It grows back stronger
The bone breaks
It grows back stronger
Oh, the bone breaks

You walk by, and I sigh. Our bodies never touch.
No love, you hold me close, but I don't feel much
I cry, maybe time isn't on our side
We had a thing, but we lost it
One more go, I kinda thought if we took it slow
It might be easier for us, yeah for us to know
I know we never been quite here before
I wish I knew it when we lost it
Yeah, I wish I knew it when we lost it

Another day, another sin
Another day I'm late again
Oh, just like that my money's spent
Where did it all go?

Another night, another heart
Another one leaves in the dark
And I'm searching for my counterpart
Where did it all go?

And I lock every single door
And I look behind me even more
Now turned into someone that I swore I would never be

I wish I could go back to playing barbies in my room
They never say that you gotta grow up, quite this soon
How fast things change, and now I'm here
And all I wanna do
Is go back to playing barbies in my room

I see it on my father's face
Another line that comes with age
I know that time will have its way
Where did it all go?

They say that things were simple then
Although I don't remember when
I wanna know what happens next
Where do we all go?

And I lock every single door
And I look behind me even more
And now turned into someone that I swore I would never be

oh I wish I could go back to playing barbies in my room
They never say that you gotta grow up quite this soon
How fast things change, and now I'm here
And all I wanna do
Is go back to playing barbies in my room

Pink canopies and grass-stained knees
Putting fireflies in a jar
Getting home before it's dark

Scotch-taping posters on my wall
Rolling pixie sticks to smoke
Couldn't wait 'til I was older

And I wish I could go back to playing barbies in my room
They never say that you gotta grow up, quite this soon
How fast things change, and now I'm here
And all I wanna do
Is go back to playing barbies in my room

Back to playing barbies uh
I wish that I could go back
I wish that I could go back
I wish that I could go back
Back to playing barbies in my room

Got a hole in my head and my heart tonight
Well you shot me down, you just ain't right
Comes a time when you know you must let go
I know, I know
We fixed it, but it's broken

Got a feeling we gonna get this wrong
And even I can't be this strong
It's a breath that you take right before you die
We lie and lie can't say we didn't try though

So here we go
Take my body, not my soul
Took me high and left me low
I honestly never imagined we'd get this far

There's a road that takes me home
Take me fast or take me slow
Throw my head out the window
Feel the wind, make me whole
Write my name up in the sky
As we contemplate goodbye
I don't know, we don't know, where we go

There's not a holy man or prayer in sight
There's not a priest around to read our rights
There's no magic balm to save our lives
I know, I know

We've both always been broken
But you had a way of making me forget
All the sadness rollin' 'round my head
That was until I wished us dead
You had my heart I wish you would have kept it

This world, we know
It takes our bodies, not our souls
It takes us high and leaves us low
But they honestly never imagined we'd get this far

There's a road that takes me home
Take me fast or take me slow
Throw my head out the window
Feel the wind, make me whole
Write my name up in the sky
As we contemplate goodbye
I don't know, we don't know, where we go

Death is in the air tonight
I can smell the fear inside
We can see when we close our eyes
That's it's alright (it's alright), it's alright

Promise me you'll stay with me (stay with me)
If just for one more night (one more night)
You can hold me honestly (honestly)
'Cause it's alright (it's alright), it's alright

There's a road that takes me home
Take me fast or take me slow
Throw my head out the window
Feel the wind, make me whole
Write my name up in the sky
As we contemplate goodbye
I don't know, we don't know, where we go

There's a road that takes me home
Take me fast or take me slow
I don't know, we don't know
Take me home

Remember that time we were just kickin'
But nothing had changed, nothing was really different
Then love showed its teeth like it was something vicious
No, no, no, let me finish

Ain't it something when it all goes tragic
How a spell can get casted onto something magic
What I wouldn't give to get back to where we had it
Oh, it should've lasted

Now it's like I lied
When I said I didn't need you
Alright if you'd left I'd never be
Tonight can we just get it right
Somehow, for now

Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now

Oh, I'm so goddamn mean
'Cause I-I-I say and I do things that I shouldn't sometimes
My mouth gets me in trouble all the time

But now it's like I lied
When I said I didn't need you
I die if you'd left I'd never be alright
Can we just get it right somehow
For now

Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now, for now

Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now

Remember that time we were just kickin'
But nothing had changed, nothing was really different
Then love showed its teeth like it was something vicious
No, no, no, let me finish
For now

Freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the older familiar thoughts
Can we just freeze, frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now, for now

Can we just freeze frame, pause, rewind, stop
And get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now, for now

Can we just rewind, stop
Get back to the feelings we think we lost
For now

What do we conceal?
What do we reveal?
Make that decision every day
What is wrong with me
It's what's wrong with you
There's just so much I wanna say

I like to make-believe with you
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
That we always speak the truth ish
I like how we pretend the same
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Play this silly little game
Hey!

I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)

I let the walls come down
I let the monster out
And it's coming after me (after me)
Do you feel exposed
Where it hurts the most?
Can you wear it on your sleeve?

I like to make-believe with you
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
That we always speak the truth ish
I like how we pretend the same
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Play this silly little game
Hey!

I've got some things to say
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
It's written on my face
It's gonna be hard to swallow
(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)

Put it in the closet
Lock the doors
I'm wondering which one is worse
Is it mine or is it yours
Put it in the closet
Lock the doors
Wondering which one is worse
I'll show mine if you show yours
I'll show mine if you show yours
Ah, he-he-hey!

(Everybody's got a secret)
I got some things to say
(Everybody's got a secret)
'Cause there's a lot that you don't know
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's written on my face
(Everybody's got a secret)
It's gonna be hard to swallow

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
(Everybody's got a secret)
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
Da, da, da, da, do, do, do
(Everybody's got a secret)

I've been up late watching you breathe
Wondering if you're going to leave
Don't tell me what you see
That you actually believe it

F*ck, I'm blue
And all those photos that you like of a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
Goddamn right I miss drinking
Yeah, I do

But I've been up late nights
Staring at the street lights
All the cigarette smoke, can't escape a closing window
And my head's like "what happened to you, it's alright"
Baby, it's not alright
What if we're a closing window

But I can't shake the feeling
That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
I can't shake the feeling (I can't shake the feeling)
Do you picture a better life?

I found myself up late feeling kinda jealous
Looking at the bullshit, other peoples wellness
And it's got me thinking
It's just not you
I've been all night looking in the eyes of my baby
Right in front of me, what a gift so amazing
Oh and that's what's true

But I stay up late night
Screaming at the street lights
All the cigarette smoke, filling up these hopeless lungs
Oh, and my head's like "what happened to you, it's alright"
Baby, It's not alright
I feel like a closing window

But I can't shake the feeling
That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
I can't shake the feeling
Do you picture a better life?

I can't seem to understand it
How did we get so low
No, no, no
I can't seem to understand it
How did we get so low
No, no, no

But I can't shake the feeling (I can't seem to understand it, how did we get so low)
That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high (no, no, no)
I can't shake the feeling (I can't seem to understand it, how did we get so low)
Do you picture a better life?

Ooh
Do you picture a better life?
Oh oh, do you picture a better life?
And I wonder, and I wonder
Do you picture a better life? (Can't shake the feeling)
And I wonder (I can't shake the feeling) do you picture
Do you picture a better life?

I open up my heart
You can love me or not
There's no such thing as sin
Let it all come right in
I wanna make some mistakes, I wanna sleep in the mud
I wanna swim in the flood, I wanna f*ck 'til I'm done
I like whiskey on ice, I like sun in my eyes
I wanna burn it all down, so let's start a fire
I wanna be lost, so lost that I'm found
Naked and laughing with my blood on the ground

I am here, I am here
I've already seen the bottom, so there's nothing to fear
I know that I'll be ready when the devil is near

I am here, I am here
All of this wrong, but I'm still right here
I don't have the answers, but the questions is clear

Let me ask you
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Let me ask you

Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Let me ask you

May the light be upon me
May I feel in my bones that I am enough
I can make anywhere home
My fingers are clenched, my stomach in knots
My heart it is racing, but afraid I am not
Afraid I am not

I am here, I am here
I've already seen the bottom, so there's nothing to fear
I know that I'll be ready when the devil is near

I am here, I am here
All of this wrong, but I'm still right here
I don't have the answers, but the questions is clear

Let me ask you
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Let me ask you

Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Let me ask you

I can think of one thousand places
Much worse than this

But I am here, I am here
I've already seen the bottom, so there's nothing to fear
I know that I'll be ready when the devil is near

'Cause I am here, I am here
All of this wrong, but I'm still right here
I don't have the answers, but the questions is clear

Let me ask you
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Let me ask you

Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
Where does everybody going when they go
So, let me ask you
Oh, let me ask you
Ooh, ooh
So let me ask you

I will have to die for this I fear
There's rage and terror and there's sickness here
I fight because I have to
I fight for us to know the truth

There's not enough rope to tie me down
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
The stones you throw can make me bleed
But I won't stop until we're free
Wild hearts can't be broken
No, wild hearts can't be broken

This is my rally cry
I know it's hard, we have to try
This is a battle I must win
To want my share is not a sin

There's not enough rope to tie me down
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
The stones you throw can make me bleed
But I won't stop until we're free
Wild hearts can't be broken
No, wild hearts can't be broken

You beat me, betray me
You're losing, we're winning
My spirit above me
You cannot deny me
My freedom is burning
This broken world keeps turning
I'll never surrender
There's nothing, but a victory

There's not enough rope to tie me down
There's not enough tape to shut this mouth
The stones you throw can make me bleed
But I won't stop until we're free
Wild hearts can't be broken
Wild hearts can't be broken
This wild heart can't be broken

While you were sleepin', I decided to lay it out
Every bad reason
All of my pointless doubts
Where I went wrong
I whispered the ways that I'm ashamed of myself

While you were dreamin', I handed you all my fears
My thoughtless decisions, turned into thoughtful tears
What have I done? For the first time
I blame myself

But you get my love, baby
You get my love
If there's only one thing about me that you can trust
You get my love, baby
You get my love
Don't let my mistakes take that away from us
You get my love

I'm no longer hidin'
Though you're not awake to leave
I can tell by your breathin'
It's no longer a fantasy
I'm still not prepared
For when you wake up
And turn to me

But you get my love, baby
You get my love
If there's only one thing about me that you can trust
You get my love, baby
You get my love
Don't let my mistakes take that away from us
You get my love

The light comes in, the dawn is risin' down
You opened up your eyes
Once again I have to risk it all
The time is now

You get my love, baby
You get my love
If there's only one thing about me that you can trust
You get my love, baby
You get my love
Don't let my mistakes take that away from us

You get my love, baby
You get my love
If there's only one thing about me that you can trust
You get my love, baby
You get my love
Don't let my mistakes take that away from us
You get my love
