lyrics
I should have run right from the start
cause we will always be apart.
But you can't reason with the heart.
I can't take what this is doing to me,
and you're the only one who can set me free.
I'll be here for eternity in this beautiful hell,
loving you this way.
It's a beautiful hell
to know you and not hold you
cause you don't know how I feel,
I'm not free to say.
Distance, age, familiarity,
or bound to another,
some loves can never be.
It's a beautiful hell...
(Lead break)
I don't have the strength to walk away,
but it's a high price to pay.
I can't let you go, so I remain
in this beautiful hell,
loving you this way.
It's a beautiful hell
to know you and not hold you
cause you don't know how I feel,
I'm not free to say.
It's a beautiful hell,
a beautiful hell,
beautiful hell.
