Thanks to those who responded. Both of the explanations have shown me a different way to look at those lines. And I agree that the song has as many meanings that it has listeners but I still can't seem to find my own meaning to it. I interpet the song as talking about the pit falls of giving in to lustful desires and how "your regret is all that's left" and how the "beautiful stripped me" of what is innocent and clean. So, for the Beautiful to tell him where he is going, I'm assuming it isn't a good place (such as Heaven) because why would a figure of digust say to him "you are going to heaven!" like a threat? and he seems to still be sorrowful when he says "I think I'll go there on my own." Again, I'm not saying that view is wrong. It is 100% correct if that is what it means to you and its one of the great things about Creed's music. Every song is personal. Though in this case I can't personally find a meaning to it.
