Beautiful stranger
I can see it in your hands
You're gonna hurt when you leave
But the Fates have plans

Beautiful stranger
I can read you like the sands
You've got a coffee to stop from shaking
Will you give into chance

You will haunt the music's every note
You will linger like cigarette smoke
Stranger once, then lover, then ghost
Why does beautiful sadness hurt the most

Beautiful stranger
You're tempted to burn
Lay silent in the darkness
Listen and learn

Beautiful stranger
You'll stay then you'll fade
The memory of your touch
Will be all that remains

You will haunt the music's every note
You will linger like cigarette smoke
Stranger once, then lover, then ghost
Why does beautiful sadness hurt the most
Why does beautiful sadness hurt the most

Beautiful tragedy, loveliest break
You put the coffee cup down
Have you made a mistake
Face to face with a fruit's sweetest taste
Will you pick the flower 'fore leave this place

You will haunt the music's every note
You will linger like cigarette smoke
Stranger once, then lover, then ghost
Why does beautiful sadness hurt the most
Why does beautiful sadness hurt the most
