There Is Something Beautiful

You say I'm hopelessly romantic
I'd say romantically hopeless
You don't know me well
Cause we just met at the station
A shudder of vague frustration
Maybe that was so
There is something beautiful
in things that cannot last
There is something beautiful
in still believing that they do
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
Doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo do
You say I'm terribly kind
So we'll say kind of terrible
You all know me well
We spent a few days walking
And a few minutes talking
Maybe that was so
There is something beautiful
in not knowing what could have been
There is something beautiful
in not letting the thought go
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
Doo doo doo
doo doo doo
doo do
Ideals
Everything was right from the start
Nothing could tear us apart
Ideals
Everything was right from the start
There was nothing to tear us apart
Ideals
(Everything was right from the start
There was nothing to tear us apart)
