Found you laying on the grass
Bottle in a paper bag
Surrounded by the damage that you made
An angel fallen from the stars
Clinging to your broken past
Tragic is the pain that sets us free

And I love the way you are
Beautiful and torn apart
But you don't hear a single word I say
Oh, I love the way you are
Even though you break my heart
I can't look at you, can't look away

Why you try to hurt yourself?
Every day, a cry for help
Hateful are the words you say out loud
Smile I've never seen before
You don't even care no more, yeah
Nothing seems to matter when you're down

'Cause I love the way you are
Beautiful and torn apart
But you don't hear a single word I say
Oh, I love the way you are
Even though you break my heart
I can't look at you, can't look away

The way you love and the way it hurts
The way you crash and the way you burn
The way you lie, the ones you use
Your selfishness I can't excuse
The way you are makes me weak
Wears me out and I'm so deep it now
Can't help but stay right here
Standing beside you
