Let's not drag this out, everything's in motion,
Though I've only ever loved you kind and with devotion.
I remember when I met you, and even from the start,
I thought one day you'd probably [bad word] home and break my heart.

It's funny what you know, 
and still go on pretending
With no good evidence you'll ever see that happy ending...
You were looking for your distance, 
and sensing my resistance, 
you had to do your will.
I had to learn the hard way,
We were just an empty dream, too big 
for hope alone to fill...

I know I'm a dreamer, so I'll give you that,
Still I hope I'm more than just a place you laid your hat,
You're a land of secrets, its only citizen,
And though I paid my dues I was never allowed in.
And so I am a stranger, especially today,
As I get sad and lonely, and you get your way...

You were looking for your distance, 
and sensing my resistance, 
you had to do your will...
I had to learn the hard way,
We were just an empty dream, too big 
for hope alone to fill...

Holding out for change I know, 
we never stood a chance,
So I could only wait and watch you 
slip right through my hands 

You were looking for your distance, 
and sensing my resistance, 
you had to do your will...
I had to learn the hard way,
We were just an empty dream, too big 
for hope alone to fill...
