One filled with regret So soon we all forget we ever met Do you know my name? Sing a light refrain For a man estranged I won't deny that I'm inclined to isolate Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved (I can't believe) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you) I can't relate to you (I can't relate to you) I can't relate to you
