Benson Boone Beautiful Things Lyrics
Verse 1
For a while there, it was rough
But lately, I've been doin' better
Than the last four cold Decembers I recall
And I see my family every month
I found a girl my parents love
She'll come and stay the night, and I think I might have it all
And I thank God every day
For the girl He sent my way
But I know the things He gives me, He can take away
And I hold you every night
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
But there's no man as terrified as the man who stands to lose you
Pre-Chorus
Oh, I hope I don't losе you
Mm, please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
Thеse beautiful things that I've got
Chorus
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Post-Chorus
Oh, ooh
Please don't take
Verse 2
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
It's been a while, but I'm finding my faith
If everything's good and it's great, why do I sit and wait 'til it's gone?
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
I've got peace and I've got love
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all
Chorus
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
Don't take
These beautiful things that I've got
Post-Chorus
Oh, ooh
Outro
Please stay
I want you, I need you, oh God
I need
These beautiful things that I've got

Benson Boone Beautiful Things Lyrics Meaning
Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" is a heartfelt song about love, gratitude, and fear of loss. In an interview with Genius, he said, "The theme of the song is just begging someone to stay. It's needing something so badly that you're just terrified to lose it."'
This song highlights the feeling that many people feel when they find someone or something so precious to them. A happy feeling followed with fear about what if everything end and you lose it all. He said, "The switch up in the song from the verse to the chorus is also like a switch up in my mindset, where like the verse is explaining you have such a good thing, and you've been given like this incredible thing in life, this relationship that's beautiful, and that you love. But then right when you switch to the chorus, it's like God d*mn, I could lose this all."
