I was a boy inside a girl, so ravishing, I felt her pain
She took me in, so innocent
And I was a girl, so beautiful
The type that all the boys wanted in this small town
And they took me down, I took him in
I took him in, he took me down

The way of the world
It's so frantic and beautiful, it's so beautiful
The way of the world, it's such a shame
So tragic and beautiful, it's so beautiful

Thought it was love, couldn't be true
No, I felt it too, it's all her fault
She took him in and I took him in
I take the blame, so painful now
To live with his name ringing in my head

And fear of a consequence
Greater than the one I know
And this world has never made
So much sense as it does, now
As it does, now

The way of the world
It's so frantic and beautiful, it's so beautiful
The way of the world, it's such a shame
So tragic and beautiful

It's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
It's so beautiful
