  You've got the  best of both worlds
 You're the kind of girl who can take  down a man,
  And lift  him back up  again
  You are strong  but you're needy,
  Humble  but you're greedy
  Based  on your body language,
  Your shouted cursive  I've been reading
  You're style  is quite selective,
  Though your mind  is rather reckless
  Well I guess  it just suggests,
  That this is just  what happiness  is
   Hey, what a beautiful mess this  is
   It's like picking up trash in dresses
  Well it kind  of hurts when the kind  of words you write
  Kind  of turn themselves  into knives
  And don't mind  my nerve, you can call  it fiction
  'Cause I like  being submerged in your contradictions, dear
  'Cause here  we are, here  we are
  Although  you were biased, I love  your advice
  Your comebacks  they're quick
  And probably have to do  with your insecurities
  There's no shame  in being crazy,
  Depending  on how you take these
  Words  they're paraphrasing this  relationship we're  staging
   Hey, what a beautiful mess, yes  it is
   It's like we 're picking up trash in dresses
  Well it kind  of hurts when the kind  of words you say
  Kind  of turn themselves  into blades
  And the kind  and courteous is a life  I've heard
  But it's nice  to say that we played  in the dirt
  Cause here,  here we are,  Here we are
  Here  we are, here  we are, here  we are, here  we are,
  Here  we are, here  we are, here  we are, we're  still here
   And what a beautiful mess this  is
   It's like taking a guess when the only  answer is yes
  And through timeless  words and priceless  pictures
  We'll fly  like birds not  of this  earth
  And tides  they turn, hearts  disfigure
  But that's no  concern when we're wounded  together.
  And we tore  our dresses, and stained  our shirts
  But it's nice  today, all the wait  was so worth  it.
