When We Were Beautiful Lyrics
Bon Jovi
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I'm hanging in
You're holding on
I can't pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back...When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back... When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were
Back...When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back... When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
[Solo]
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back...When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back... When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Back...When we were beautiful
Back...When we were beautiful
Back...When we were beautiful
Back...When we were beautiful
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
The sky is torn
I'm hanging in
You're holding on
I can't pretend
That nothings changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back...When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back... When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
Cause the way we are
Aint the way we were
Back...When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back... When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
[Solo]
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back...When we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back... When we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Back...When we were beautiful
Back...When we were beautiful
Back...When we were beautiful
Back...When we were beautiful
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
Sha la la Sha la la hey Sha la la
