[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
'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
[Outro]
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
