Beautiful Way
Searchlights on the skyline
Just lookin' for a friend
Who's gonna love my baby
When she's gone around the bend?
5 Egyptian bells are ringing
When it's her birthday
Sweet nothin', I'm talking about you
There's a hurricane blowin' your way
Ooh such a beautiful way
10 To break your heart
Ooh such a beautiful way
To break my heart
There's someone calling your name
It's driving you insane
15 You were wearing that stained raincoat
And your umbrella was a tangled mess
You were washed up on the glittering shoals
Looking for another crime to confess
You bribed yourself out of a place in the sun
20 But you had some change to spare
So you said you wanna spend it on me
And shook the blues out of your hair
Ooh such a beautiful way
To break your heart
25 Ooh such a beautiful way
To break my heart
There's someone calling your name
You're gonna miss that train
The chorus says that ending the relationship will break both their hearts. She knows that there's someone else that's right for her, and she's torn between the two. She loves the one that's wrong for her, and the right one loves her.
The second verse is about after they broke up. She didn't take it well and was unprepared for it. She was trying to blame it all on herself, and convinced herself that she could never be happy. By going out with him, she was sacrificing her success. She thought it would make her feel better if she could stay with him and try to give more, but it was too late.
He still loved her but couldn't stay because he knew they weren't right for each other. He didn't want her to miss the opportunity to be with the person who's right for her.
