here’s a gift i didn’t need
a gift you blithly brought to me
it’s gorgeous
oh so gorgeous

you never wrap it up in flowers
now i sit in empty hours
so gorgeous
all so gorgeous

there’s a gift you bring to me
a gift of brutal honesty
it’s gorgeous
oh so gorgeous

some gifts can burn like hidden fire
now here I am, quite uninspired
you’re gorgeous
oh so gorgeous

i feel lost, misunderstood
such brutal truth has done no good
gorgeous
truly gorgeous

i’m a fool to care so much
for what you say, your distant touch
is gorgeous
oh so gorgeous

truth can kill the gift of love
as all the angels know above
some things are better left unsaid
or hidden underneath the bed
love’s a child of sun and light
a lantern shining in the night
why squash the flame and snuff the spark
now i’m dancing in the dark
it’s gorgeous
really gorgeous

i ponder every word you say
i’ll live to see another day
don’t lie, don’t sigh, don’t shy away
never look at me that way
you’re gorgeous
always gorgeous
