Lyrics

When you told me that you were leaving
I could not make myself stop grieving
I placed you way up above me
Because I thought you really loved me
There's no way that you're to blame
So there's no need to try to explain
Now that you are going away
I really feel a need to say

Chorus
I never thought that you would hurt me
I never dreamed that you would desert me
Now you're leaving
and my heart is sinking
I guess I just was not thinking

When you said you were gonna leave
It was hard for me to believe
Now I know it was all a dream
Our love was never what it seemed to be
To me

Chorus
I never thought that you would hurt me
I never dreamed that you would desert me
Now you're leaving
and my heart is sinking
I guess I just was not thinking

Bridge
Thinking and feeling just aren't
the same
Now I know love is not a game
I'm afraid that I will always miss you
And never again will I kiss you

When this came down
I thought I was dreaming
It broke my heart
And I felt like screaming
I thought I could trust you
But I was wrong
I know that's so because
Soon you'll be gone

Chorus
I never thought that you would hurt me
I never dreamed that you would desert me
Now you're leaving
and my heart is sinking
I guess I just was not thinking

Tag
I was not thinking
AT ALL!
