Beauty and the Beast

Lyrics

Intro
Black candle glow
Rain on the glass
You were a rumor in the walls
And I was made to last

Verse 1
I came to the castle with a restless heart
A little too brave, a little too dark
You wore your silence like a crown of thorns
I heard the storm before it was born
You had the manners of a wounded beast
I had the hunger of the living at least
We circled slow through the halls of night
Two broken mirrors catching light

Pre-Chorus
You said don’t be afraid
But I already knew
The monster in the tower
Was the lonely in you

Chorus
Oh, beauty and the beast in the candlelight
We were both too wild to be truly tamed
You were the dark I was meant to find
And I was the voice that could speak your name
If your heart was a cage, then mine was the key
If your curse was forever, then stay here with me
Let the roses bleed, let the old clock chime
I’ll love you through the ruin, through the end of time

Verse 2
I traced the cracks in your weathered hands
Like maps to a kingdom no one understands
You hid your face, but I saw your soul
A savage kind of beautiful, hungry and whole
And when you laughed, the chandeliers shook
Like the walls themselves wanted another look
I kissed the fear right off your skin
And suddenly the long night let us in

Pre-Chorus
No spell could break
What we’d begun
Two cursed hearts
Beating as one

Chorus
Oh, beauty and the beast in the candlelight
We were both too wild to be truly tamed
You were the dark I was meant to find
And I was the voice that could speak your name
If your heart was a cage, then mine was the key
If your curse was forever, then stay here with me
Let the roses bleed, let the old clock chime
I’ll love you through the ruin, through the end of time

Bridge
Behind the gold
Inside the pain
I found your tenderness
Under your rage
And if the world forgets
What we became
I’ll still be yours
When they say your name

Final Chorus
Oh, beauty and the beast in the candlelight
We were both too wild to be truly tamed
You were the dark I was meant to find
And I was the voice that could speak your name
If your heart was a cage, then mine was the key
If your curse was forever, then stay here with me
Let the roses bleed, let the old clock chime
I’ll love you through the ruin, through the end of time

Outro
No need for escape
No need for rain
I loved the beast
And he loved my name
