There Is Something Beautiful

[Verse 1]
You say I'm hopelessly romantic, I'd say romantically hopeless
You don't know me well
'Cause we just met at the station and shared a vague frustration
Maybe that was all

There is something beautiful in things that cannot last
There is something beautiful in still believing that they will

[Chorus]
She went off to Paris and I went back to my hometown
I couldn't be by your side, I shouldn't have been by anyone's side

[Verse 2]
You say I'm terribly kind, some would say kind of terrible
You all know me well
We spent a few days walking and a few minutes talking
Baby, that was all

There is something beautiful in not knowing what could have been
There is something beautiful in not letting the thought go

[Chorus]
She went off to Paris and I went back to my hometown
I couldn't be by your side, I shouldn't have been by anyone's side

[Outro]
Ideals...
Everything was right from the start
There's nothing to tear us apart
