Beautiful


One day I saw this girl walk my way Her eyes sparkled like the sun on a hot summer day She seemed gloomy, her head facing the ground She looked like the new girl from out of town When she looked up that's when I saw her frown It was obvious the other girls were trying to put her down She moved cause she had some old school problems And maybe new scenery can be something to solve em But so far your problem wasn't looking good It was obvious that you were misunderstood So when I saw you crying by yourself in the hall I told myself, "boy grow up and get some balls" When we conversed, I was quickly struck I wanted to comfort you, it didn't matter what it took You told me the other girls were better, you weren't on par And I thought, girl you don't know how beautiful you are ............................................................................. [[You don't know how beautiful you are Your beauty shines like the brightest star And girl I promise you'll be going far (I promise you'll be going far) They don't know how beautiful you are Be my engine, and I'll be your car Together, I promise we'll go far Because I know how beautiful you are]] ............................................................................ As time went by, we discovered each other more The others were ignorant, they called you a whore But girl, forget the others, just look at me If we keep this up we could last eternity Girl you had a vibe that made loving you so easy And I wanted everyone to observe what I see But the others still didn't want to mess with you And I could tell that their words were still cutting through We spent more time together, we had so much fun You told me you listened to old school like Nas and Big Pun After that, I was sure you had to be my wife I wanted to be with you for the rest of my natural life I wanted you to know your value would never diminish And I wanted all the ignorance and bullying to just be finished Girl in my eyes you will always be on par I wish you would know how beautiful you are ............................................................................ [[You don't know how beautiful you are Your beauty shines like the brightest star And girl I promise you'll be going far (I promise you'll be going far) They don't know how beautiful you are Be my engine, and I'll be your car Together, I promise we'll go far Because I know how beautiful you are]] ........................................................................... You texted me around eleven one night The content on the message blurred my sight You said you were exhausted of all the names And your existence would never be the same You texted me a message that screened "bye" Knowing the situation, I began to cry Please, please I beg you not to go I can't go through this life by myself riding solo I remember the last thing you ever said to me "Thanks for being my friend it meant a lot to me" You felt a connection with me you was quick to tell You said you loved me, but you didn't love yourself You said what we shared was special I know it's true Please remember me cause I'll always remember you I tried spamming your cell, you didn't reply As I dialed 911, I screamed out God why? Next morning the news cut through me like a knife It was confirmed that you took your precious life ...................................................................................... [You were supposed to be my wife] [And be with me for all of my life] Its sad you never thought you were on par Its sad me and you couldn't go too far Its sad you halted the engine to my car Its sad that you dimmed out your shining star To me she was so precious and so pure In my eyes no one will ever mess with her Our precious time together went by in a blur If only you knew how beautiful you were
