## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Don't tell me this is life

Running to and endless hideaway

You cut me open like a knife

Relief what lies inside of me

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Like a monster, I was hiding

But no longer 'cause you brought me to the light

**[Chorus]**

Love the way your love keeps me up high

'Cause in your hands I become a believer, I

Don't have to hide away my ugly side

'Cause I become such a beautiful creature in your eyes

**[Verse 2]**

I'm naked and alive

Courageous, I'm no longer prey'

When you hold me in your sights

Blindfolded, I am unafraid

**[Pre-Chorus]**

'Cause you stop my heart from burnin'

And you promise that together, we'll survive

**[Chorus]**

Love the way your love keeps me up high

'Cause in your hands I become a believer, I

Don't have to hide away my ugly side

'Cause I become such a beautiful creature in your eyes

**[Bridge]**

This is how it all begins and never ends

No disguise to cover up in self-defense

We belong and we collide

Where eternity is never wrong or right

**[Chorus]**

Love the way your love keeps me up high

'Cause in your hands I become a believer, I

Don't have to hide away my ugly side

'Cause I become such a beautiful creature in your eyes

**[Outro]**

Such a beautiful creature in your eyes

Such a beautiful creature in your eyes
