My Beautiful Girl lyrics by Youth Lagoon
I hold your hand while you’re holding up the candle
You understand what you’re bold enough to handle
You understand what to say
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
A dollar-store, rubber Jesus on the mantle
You stash your pills at the bottom of his sandals
His feet are wearing away
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
For the world
You’ve come this far
Deep into the dark we go
Hell was painted on your arms
People live with scars I know
Your mama screamed when you thought she couldn’t scream more
Your daddy’s deaf so he never heard the screen door
You walk the old desert road
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
My beautiful girl
