Lyrics
The very first time that I saw you
I wanted to do it with you
I saw a chance to make my dreams come true
And I thought that I could do it with you
For so long I saw us going somewhere
Like you had something to share
And that you'd share it with me
But now I find that you're not quite what you seemed
Somebody tell me how could a dream
Ever turn out to be so cruel
That was then and this is now
I ain't sad it's over now
I see I could never do it with you
WIshes can happen and dreams can come true
But dreams are not always your own
Believe me
I hope you can find out a way to live life all alone
You said you wanted security
My promise to you
That's what it should mean
And I kept all my promises to you
And what did you do
You had your inbetweens...tell me something
Did you ever really understand
When I was trying to tell you
That I didn't want you back
Wanted love but realised that's
One thing I could never do
With you
