I see you're beautiful, oh beautiful On Monday afternoons You drown inside the pool Of abandoned sorrow On Monday afternoons Oh you say breathe slowly, calm down This boat is coming to a halt now Lift your head up, leave me behind My pain is not your fault So let go of me And you'll be free Oh I am only beautiful On Monday afternoons And I say you don't see This is vanity Oh you are always beautiful A flower in bloom I will not leave you here, oh beautiful For you will surely die And if I leave you here, alone and cold I'll miss you, I will die Oh you say breathe slowly, calm down This boat is coming to a halt now Lift your head up, leave me behind My pain is not your fault So let go of me And you'll be free Oh I am only beautiful On Monday afternoons And I say you don't see This is vanity You are always beautiful A flower in bloom Within me, without me All good things must last Hold my hand through the darkness And together we can last So let go of me And you'll be free I am only beautiful On Monday afternoons And I say you don't see This is vanity Oh you are always beautiful A flower in bloom No, I am only beautiful On Monday afternoons
