Angst
You think you wear it well
On your sleeve so everyone can tell
That your pain
It's nearly too much to bear
You're cursing the people as they stop and stare at

You
'Cause you're so beautiful in black
You
You're just too beautiful in black

Lips
Well yours are bloody red
The powder on your face it makes you look dead
You said
Sometimes you'd rather be
Well something about that don't make sense to me when

You
Yeah you're so beautiful in black
You
You're just too beautiful in black

Could there be a reason that we never see you smile
Did you ever think that it could be worth your while
Have you ever tried to give the benefit of the doubt
Or do you hide in the corner and paint yourself in
So tight that you can't get out
Do you complain that everyone stares at you
While you sit there and scream and shout
Look at me

I'm so beautiful in black
I'm so beautiful in...

You
Yeah you're so beautiful in black
You
You're just too beautiful in black

Tears
You want to hide them all
Can't let them get to you or let them see you fall
Instead
You want to push them first
Well maybe they're bad but you might be worse when

You
Yeah you're so beautiful in black
You
You're not so beautiful in black
Sometimes you
You're just too beautiful in black
When you
You're not so beautiful in black
