About Beautiful

"Beautiful" appears to be about retaining one's individuality and embracing one's emotions to create beauty in life. The first verse addresses the pressure to conform to someone else's idea of happiness and the frustration it causes for the singer. The pre-chorus references the artist Pablo Picasso and the idea that if he had not embraced his sadness, he may not have become the celebrated artist he is today. The chorus repeats the word "beautiful" and suggests that even in one's sadness, there is beauty. .

Beautiful Lyrics

[00:22.16] Let's keep it simple, babe
[00:25.18] Don't make me complicated
[00:28.56] Don't tell me to be glad when I'm sad
[00:31.69] I really hate that
[00:34.87] I try not to be bad
[00:37.35] He's interested, he's holdin' me back
[00:40.88] If I could be more like you
[00:42.94] I would, but I can't and I'm glad about that
[00:46.12] What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?
[00:53.02] Never known who he was, or the man he'd become
[00:56.28] There would be no Blue Period
[00:58.77] Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do
[01:05.54] Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
[01:09.07] I can turn blue into something
[01:11.15] Beautiful, beautiful
[01:17.34] Beautiful like you
[01:23.10] Beautiful, beautiful
[01:29.26] Beautiful like you
[01:35.71] Let's keep it simple, babe
[01:38.67] We can't afford to change it
[01:42.13] Don't turn me into something I'm not
[01:45.58] There's no way to sustain it
[01:48.31] I try not to hold back
[01:50.94] It seems either way it makes you mad
[01:54.42] So I'll be who I'll be, if you think that that's cool
[01:57.81] Then I'll take you back
[01:59.76] What if someone had asked Picasso not to be sad?
[02:06.86] Never known who he was or the man he'd become
[02:09.95] There would be no Blue Period
[02:12.91] Let me run with the wolves, let me do what I do
[02:19.27] Let me show you how sadness can turn into happiness
[02:22.82] I can turn blue into something
[02:24.99] Beautiful, beautiful
[02:30.83] Beautiful like you
[02:35.93] Beautiful, beautiful
[02:43.57] Beautiful like you
[02:51.32]
[03:01.99] Beautiful, beautiful
[03:07.90] Beautiful like you
[03:13.31] Beautiful, beautiful
[03:20.42] Beautiful like you
[03:26.22]
