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 just come 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 but 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
