True Love Weights (Boofuw Buwfwy)

from Sweet Nothings by Bomethius

lyrics

Why is life so beautiful
So beautiful to me?
Why is your smile so beautiful
So beautiful to see?

Your joy sheds the scales of your pain
Even when you’re standing in the rain

Volumes could never speak
Of your grace in defeat
But your smile speaks volumes
With just enough volume for me

My love, can’t you hear it?
I’m calling out to you
My love, please don’t fear it
I’m here to suffer with you

Live and love, ah but there’s the rub
Is there anybody out there
Who’s really doing either?

After all the tears and failures
We’ve seen each other through
They don’t seem to take away
To take away from you
And anyway It’ll all be gone too soon

Your smile is an anchor
In this tempest’s rage
And though it’s hardly over
It seems we’ll be ok
My love, can’t you feel it?
How I long after you?
My love, please don’t fear it
—I’m here to suffer with you

I know why you’re so beautiful
You’re so beautiful to me
You make my life so beautiful
You’re so beautiful to me
It’s in the things this world cannot see
And you’re all I’ll ever need
