Let's not drag this out   Everything's in motion   Although I've only ever loved you kind   And with devotion      And remember when I met you   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 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   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   So, I could only wait and 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
