Blinded by Beauty

Saw you standing there, beauty in disguise Drawn into your gaze, like stars in midnight skies Thought I felt a spark, something deep and pure But I fell too fast, wasn't sure Caught up in the look, the fire in your stare A face like heaven, I was caught unaware I thought you were more, a mystery to hold But your charm was silver, never turned to gold Just a pretty face, hiding something cold Couldn't see it then, just wanted to hold Blinded by beauty, lost in the light Your looks, a mirage in the dead of the night Now I see the truth, what I should've known It's the heart that matters, not beauty alone Chased after shadows, caught in your spell Didn't see the lies you wore so well Thought you were heaven, wrapped in lace But your heart was empty, just a pretty face Just a pretty face, hiding something cold Couldn't see it then, just wanted to hold Blinded by beauty, lost in the light Your looks, a mirage in the dead of the night Now I see the truth, what I should've known It's the heart that matters, not beauty alone Chased after shadows, caught in your spell Didn't see the lies you wore so well Thought you were heaven, wrapped in lace But your heart was empty, just a pretty face Just a pretty face, hiding something cold Couldn't see it then, just wanted to hold Blinded by beauty, lost in the light Your looks, a mirage in the dead of the night Now I see the truth, what I should've known It's the heart that matters, not beauty alone You smiled so sweet, I fell for the lie Didn't see the cracks beneath your eyes Thought there was depth, thought there was soul But looks were the only thing you controlled Just a pretty face, hiding something cold Couldn't see it then, just wanted to hold Blinded by beauty, lost in the light Your looks, a mirage in the dead of the night Now I see the truth, what I should've known It's the heart that matters, not beauty alone Next time I'll know, I'll look for more Won't be fooled by beauty like before A lesson learned, a truth I found It's the heart that matters, where love is bound Just a pretty face, hiding something cold Couldn't see it then, just wanted to hold Blinded by beauty, lost in the light Your looks, a mirage in the dead of the night Now I see the truth, what I should've known It's the heart that matters, not beauty alone.
