For so many years now we've all thought James Blunt's hit 'You're Beautiful' was one of the most romantic and passionate songs around.

But the 43-year-old has recently opened up to the Huffington Post about the song's true meaning, and for anyone who is guilty of picking the song to celebrate their wedding, you might want to look away now!

Because, well, it's actually super creepy...

He explained:

"Everyone goes, 'Ah, he's so romantic. I want 'You're Beautiful' as my wedding song.' These people are f***** up. You get labeled with these things like, 'Oh, James Blunt. Isn't he just a soft romantic?' Well, f*** that. No, I'm not. 'You're Beautiful' is not this soft romantic f****** song. It's about a guy who's high as a f****** kite on drugs in the subway stalking someone else's girlfriend when that guy is there in front of him, and he should be locked up or put in prison for being some kind of perv.

Now that your mind has officially exploded, here's the lyrics for you to read over:

My life is brilliant
My love is pure
I saw an angel
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I won't lose no sleep on that
'Cause I've got a plan

You're beautiful
You're beautiful
You're beautiful, it's true
I saw your face in a crowded place
And I don't know what to do
'Cause I'll never be with you
