You say I'm hopelessly romantic, I'd say romantically hopless
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 the things that cannot last
There is something beautiful in still believing that they will

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

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 days 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

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