April 2: "When We Were Beautiful" by Bon Jovi

Yesterday was not one of my best days. I ended up taking a long bike ride to clear my head. During the 12 mile ride, that magical thing happened for me wherein a song I've listened to countless times in the past suddenly took on a new meaning when considered under the umbrella of my current life experiences and mindset.

The song--from one of my favorite Bon Jovi albums, The Circle--isn't something I had planned to share this month at all, but as soon as the magic happened, I knew I had to.
When We Were Beautiful 
by Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi, Billy Falcon
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
I'm hanging in
You're holding on
I can't pretend
That nothing's changed
Living in the shadows
Of the love we made
Back, when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back, when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Some dreams live
Some will die
But the you and me
Is still alive
Now am I blessed?
Or am I cursed?
'Cause the way we are
Ain't the way we were
Back, when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back, when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
The world is cracked
The sky is torn
So much less
Meant so much more
Back, when we were beautiful
Before the world got small
Before we knew it all
Back, when we were innocent
I wonder where it went
Let's go back and find it
Back, when we were beautiful
Back, when we were beautiful
Back, when we were beautiful
Back, when we were beautiful
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
Sha la la, sha la la, hey, sha la la
