Good relationships can go bad, and the people along with them.
Needs music :)
Beautiful People Do Ugly Things
V1
Once Heaven sent
Now gone to Hell
Shattered bonds
Of our fairy tale
You carved out my heart
Knife in my back
Act of betrayal
You can't retract
Ch1
Beautiful people do ugly things
My fallen angel
With broken wings
Beautiful people do ugly things
V2
We played a game
No one could win
Losing love
To our deadly sins
I spit on your name
(with) Malicious intent
Deliberate ruse
Spread with contempt
Ch2
Beautiful people do ugly things
Your green-eyed devil
With burned heartstrings
Beautiful people do ugly things
Bridge
Can't we just bury the hatchet
Into your back
Can't we just bury the hatchet
Into my head
Can't we just bury the hatchet
To end this game
Can't we just bury the hatchet
To end our pain
Solo
V3
Once Heaven sent
Now gone to Hell
Shattered bonds
Now our prison cell
A love life slain
And laid unrest
A cold dark grave
We both possess
Ch4
Beautiful people do ugly things
Crossing the line
When feelings change
Beautiful people do ugly things
Beautiful people do ugly things
Beautiful people do ugly things

into your back - LOL! Good stuff, with enough spit from the vocalist this would make a great theraputic break up song!
The hook and hatchet ready made :)
Thanks for your kind words and visits. Much appreciated, Andrea! :)

Dark but funny too. Great wordsmithing. Not sure of the genre you chose but I heard heavy rock in my head. Screaming guitars like those hatchets lol #tit4tat

WoW! What a write! Graphic and sadly true at times....

@cindyrella Feb 2022
Oh gosh! I've often said good people do bad things but to write a song like this! I love your writing!
@colgoo Feb 2022
Whoa! This is a powerful write. That Bridge!!!! Oof! I picture this as a back and forth duet. Incredibly painful and honest.
@lyricslinger Feb 2022
Love these lyrics.
I was drawn to this initially, as I think 'Beautiful People Do Ugly Things' is a great song title. Now want to hear it as a song!
@tukayandryan Feb 2022
Really great title and so true. Repetition in the bridge is really effective. This will resonate with a lot of people!
@nedgreenough Feb 2022
This is an absolute vibe. Makes me think that it could be a Mother Mother song. Great work!
@nadine Feb 2022
Strong and real lyrics. There are do many weirdos out there.
@daveescoffery Feb 2022
So real and so evocative. The bridge really got me! I could hear this going in different directions, either driving and hard or gentle and mournful. What kind of music do you hear with it?
@crisp1 Feb 2022
Helluva start! Powerful words with an unforgettable hook.
@sunfire Feb 2022
Killer title and write. Love it.
@gwyn1234 Feb 2022
What a great title! The rest of the lyric is of equal standard too...
@greengrassgirl Feb 2022
Love the "Bury the Hatchet" bridge! Very clever, Andrea!
@mikeb Feb 2022
Great lyrics, I can feel the rockin' rhythm to them as I read them!
@katestantonsings Feb 2022
These lyrics cut, Andrea! So good! I can't wait to listen to your musician's interpretation of them.
@cts Feb 2022
Wow - this is quite visceral and beautiful. I definitely can relate to the title and the chorus is a strong reinforcement of said sentiment. Curious - how do you hear this? Is it mid-tempo? Slow burn? Curious at the moment.
@shallowcarrot Feb 2022
This is so well written! :D
