Concluding with another spiritual reference, Blunt assumes that an angel lead him to his now ex-girlfriend. But it's time to face the truth - she has now moved on with another man, and Blunt will never be with her. Sigh:

Blunt and his ex-girlfriend may have only caught eyes for a very brief moment, but it felt like their gaze would last 'til the end of time. In 2006, Blunt elaborated to The Oprah Winfrey Show:

"She and I caught eyes and lived a lifetime in that moment, but didn't do anything about it and haven't seen each other since."

On the album version of 'You're Beautiful', the line, "I was flying high," is replaced with "I was fucking high." In 2007, Blunt told The Daily Mail that he had a "good relationship" with drugs, whatever that means:

"I have a good relationship with drugs. I just think people need to educate themselves on the subject. That's all."

Following their brief encounter on the Tube, Blunt reflects upon his beautiful ex-girlfriend. But he is pushed to a state of despair - he don't know what to do, because he will never be with her again.

Blunt 'got over' his ex-girlfriend rather quickly after finding fame with 'Back to Bedlam'. Among the British singer's conquests? Petra Nemcova, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. No, really:

Rolling Stone magazine may have voted 'You're Beautiful' the seventh most annoying song of all time, but in 2008, Blunt revealed to The Daily Record that he "still likes" it, thank you very much:

"If I had the radio on all the time and they kept playing that song then yes, I'd probably turn it off. But do I still like the song? Absolutely. It's a really personal song about a moment which meant a great deal to me. And I'm sure plenty of guys have seen their ex-girlfriend with a new man at some stage. It bites into you and I captured that in a really honest song. I'm saddened by what it reminds me of, and I appreciate what it did which is advertise an album I'd made."
