i think it's beautiful

the greatest romances of all time 

were never out in the sun 

they were locked away in personal diaries

in the name of true love 

to protect and to safeguard for all of forever

for justification is always a useless endeavour 

let me read you an excerpt from a love letter

i think it's beautiful how the dark brings out your light 

i think it's beautiful how you hate it when i'm right 

i think you are the god i was taught to love as a child 

i think a lot of things but lately, it's been you on my mind 

i think it's beautiful how you understand my words 

my mother says my big mouth is my curse 

i think you think otherwise and love my rambling when i'm nervous 

i think the hardest thing i've had to do is watch you be hers 

the greatest romances of all time 

were always hidden from the limelight 

tucked away in peaceful memories 

a distant road trip from their legacies

to protect and safeguard for all of forever 

for justification is always a useless endeavour 

let me read you an excerpt from a love letter 

i think it's beautiful how you glimmer at night 

i think you're beautiful without my sight 

i think if love was a sin i'd be jailed for life 

i think racing thoughts but you calm my mind 

i think it's beautiful how you hear my voice 

i've had to scream or shut up because i never had a choice 

i think you think you like all of my noise 

i think the hardest thing i've had to do is watch you solely rejoice 

the greatest romance of all time was ours 

they think hiding it all makes us cowards

but loving you in private is the best thing 'bout the deal 

i have you to myself and wonder if you're real 

the greatest romance of all time was ours 

they think our secrets are fodder for them to devour 

but they don't know loving you through letters

for worse or for better 

has me saying things like 

i think it's beautiful how you love like you have one life 

i think we're beautiful like Venus in the morning sky 

i think it's hard for me to plan all of your ploys 

i think a lot about how you tell me not to cry 

i think it's beautiful how you save all the letters i write 

i think you're beautiful regardless of any plight

i think you think the same and wonder every night 

i think the hardest things i do are all for you and i
