Ryan Dawson - A Little While Lyrics

When you were born, the heavens split
A flight of angels dropped their gilded wings and left
They could not bear to see God's face
When he got to rambling on about your grace
You were beautiful
You were beautiful
Oh, the jealous things
When they saw you

When you were born the sun grew dim
It was ashamed to shine while you looked up at it
Its constant light abandoned me
Until you finally closed your eyes to go to sleep
You Were beautiful
You were beautiful
Oh, the jealous things
When they see you

I can't be here without you anymore
I need your smile
My gravity collapses in on me
Come hold me up
For a little while

When you were born the mantel gave
A wingless angel came to roll my stone away
My folded robes, my wounded feet
When you were born, the world was shining new and sweet
I was beautiful
I was beautiful
Oh, jealous thing
When I saw you

The sun is yours, a cinder black
The angels weep for wings they tore from their own backs
God's heaven shakes, is torn apart
When you were born, you broke the universe's heart
You were beautiful
You are so beautiful
Oh, the jealous world
When they see you

I can't be here without you anymore
I need your smile
My gravity collapses in on me
Come hold me up
For a little while
