Hope Alone

Let's not drag this out
 Everything's in motion
 Though I've only ever loved you kind
 And with devotion
 Remember when I met you
 You were leaving 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
 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
 (I know that I'm a)
 So I'll give you that
 (Dreamer)
 Still I hope I'm more than just a place
 (Still I hope I'm more)
 You laid your hat
 (Than a place you laid your hat)
 You're a land of secrets
 (You are its only)
 Its only citizen
 (Citizen) and though I paid my dues
 (Though I paid)
 I was never allowed in
 (I was never allowed in)
 And so I am a stranger
 (So I am a stranger)
 Especially today
 (Especially today)
 Cause 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
 I had to learn the hard way
 That we were just an empty dream too big
 For hope alone to fill
 Holding on for change i know
 We never stood a chance
 (No we never stood a chance)
 So I could only wait
 And watch you slip right through my hands
 (Watch you slip right through my hands)
 You
 Were always looking for your distance
 And sensing my resistance
 You had to do your will
 I
 I had to learn the hard way
 We were just an empty dream too big
 For hope alone to fill
