I've held you in awe for so many years

Only now do I know what I'm seeing

I've analyzed every word that you've said

To find a deeper meaning



It went beyond curiosity

It almost ecame an obsession

To find a mere glance of love in your eyes

A mere glance of love in your eyes



You've got lines in your face from forced smiles

The sadness is beginning to show in your eyes

You can't hide it anymore, sad beauty

Hide it anymore

And you find it hard to live in your guise

Time has not been very kind

You can't hide it anymore

Hide it anymore



Do you still like being what you call free

Its comfort must lie somewhat thin

Hopeful lovers linger only so long

While you hide what lies within



Do you still like being a mystery

It's lost much of its appeal

From an idol above understanding

To a loner who's tragically real



(Chorus)



It's been a rough life

A very tough life (sad beauty)

You can't hide it anymore

Hide it anymore (sad beauty)

Sad beauty
