Interpretation

Sad Beautiful Tragic mourns a love like a tragedy — ending written from the start, yet can't help retelling. Quiet, soft guitar, like flipping an old script.

I know 'knowing it's a tragedy yet can't close the book' feeling. Some people aren't bad, they're meant to leave; some loves aren't fake, they're doomed. It puts 'beautiful' and 'broken' side by side: the most unforgettable is this pretty, aching wreck.
