Beautiful Regret

I would so like to see you After so many miles away After so many lonely days In my place I would so love to meet you In some out of the way space Where nobody knows your name Or my face Yes, I know you don't really know me very well But if I only promise and pretend You will get to see what we could have had And yet it's easier to be someone's beautiful regret Beautiful regret Beautiful— I would so like to be true to the opposites in me To the contradictions sleeping in my mind You would love to treat me to what you already gave away But you only have one night, one bed, one life Well, I don't really know you very well But if you only promise and pretend I will get to see what we could have had And yet it's easier to be someone's beautiful regret Nearly feel what we know we will never get Still it's sweet to be someone's beautiful regret Regret Beautiful regret Beautiful regret Beautiful regret Beautiful regret Beautiful
