I heard that you were home again
But you don't look like you're back to me
With your focuses changing
You gaze is transfixed on a point
That I can't often see

You've got your new ties
I've got my old knots
You've got your inside line
But you're never happy with what you've got

Careful now, you're so beautiful
When you've convinced yourself
No one else is quite as beautiful

I heard that you were living well
But you don't look like you're living to me
Though the sparkle is gone
Your smile is in place so that
Everyone watching will see

You've got them all convinced
But I know so well
That you could list your friends
But you can't count on them

Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced
That you're all right
When no one else is quite as vulnerable

As soon as you've got it
You want something else
It's not the sale that you love
It's the sold

It's not the price
That's gonna cost you
It's just the wait
That's gonna bring you down

Hold it now, you've got everyone convinced
That you're all right
When no one else is quite as vulnerable

Careful now, you're so beautiful
When you've convinced yourself
No one else is quite as beautiful

(You're so beautiful)

As soon as you've got it
You want something else
It's not the sale that you love
It's the sold

It's not the price
That's gonna cost you
It's just the wait
That's gonna bring you down
