[Verse 1]
Let all that's simple pass you by
Let all that lives be free to die
We're all, we're all key to life
Face all that rage and history
It makes no sense to you and me
We're all, we're all free to fight

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I broke all my vows, my common sense
Says find vocation somewhere else

[Chorus]
This should've been so beautiful
Should've been my proudest moment
How to have and lose you all
How to be a disappointment
Save your cheers and my applause
I never was worth fighting for
This should've been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
It could've been so beautiful tonight

[Verse 2]
Lay all that's sinful down to rest
May all our judgements be confessed
We're all, we're all guilty now
Drink for the crowd not for yourself
Til someone hears your cry for help
Let's all, let's all take a bow

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I spent all my mind on making sense
It made no difference in the end

[Chorus]
This should've been so beautiful
Should've been my proudest moment
How to have and lose you all
How to be a disappointment
Save your cheers and my applause
I never was worth fighting for
This should've been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
It could've been so beautiful

[Bridge]
Tonight, I close my eyes and I am somebody else
Tonight, I close my eyes and I don't need any help
Every moment of laughter
Every moment I fear
Every moment that you're not here
This should've been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
This should have been so beautiful

[Chorus]
This should've been so beautiful
Should've been my proudest moment
How to have and lose you all
How to be a disappointment
Save your cheers and my applause
I never was worth fighting for
This should've been so beautiful
Been so beautiful
It could've been so beautiful tonight

One of Britain’s most successful boy bands, Take That are an English pop group from Manchester, formed in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams.

Back in the 90s, they achieved unparalleled success, recording three albums which topped the UK Everything Changes and Nobody Else and Greatest Hits. Some of their biggest hits from then include “Back for Good”, “Pray”, “Everything Changes”, “A Million Love Songs” as well as covers of “Relight My Fire” by Dan Hartman and “It Only Takes a Minute” by Tavares.

Their popularity was unsurpassed in Britain. But tensions started growing and Robbie Williams left the band in 1995. The group disbanded the following year after the four remaining members completed their world tour.
