VERSE:
Let's not drag this out
Everything's in motion
(2)
Though I've only ever loved you kind
And with devotion
Remember when I met you
You were leaving from the start
(2)
I thought one day you'd probably just come home
And break my heart
BRIDGE:
(2)
It's funny what you know
And still go on pretending
(2)
With no good evidence
You'll ever see that happy ending
CHORUS:
You
(1)
Looking for your distance
(2)
And sensing my resistance
You had to do your will
I
(1)
Had to learn the hard way
(2)
We were just an empty dream too big
For hope alone to fill
FILL:
[[Em] (1)]
VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)
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
BRIDGE: (same)
And so I am a stranger
Especially today
Cause I get sad and lonely
And you get your way
CHORUS: (same)
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
MIDDLE:
Holding on for change i know
We never stood a chance
So I could only wait
And watch you slip right through my hands
CHORUS:
You
(2)
Were always looking for your distance
(2)
And sensing my resistance
You had to do your will
I
(2)
I had to learn the hard way
(2)
We were just an empty dream too big
For hope alone to fill
