Dreams Never Come True
I used to think it was us.
I used to think it was you.
But now all I can think
Is dreams never come true.
Was it me, Baby?
Was it no use?
Is there a reason
Dreams never come true?
I can't stand wishin
On stars that deceive.
I can't be with you
When you can't believe.
I don't know what happened
To what we thought we knew...
But now it makes sense
Since dreams never come true.
My whole life has been wasted.
I've never been much.
I've come close to dreams that faded
And then lost every bit of trust
Because someone else didn't
Know what they had
And I could never be happy
When I only made them sad...
But though you don't believe me, Honey...
There's one promise
I can make to you...
No matter what else happens...
Dreams never come true.
If one day you want me
Like I wanted you,
I won't be waitin
Cuz dreams never come true.
The dream you made me believe in
Is now the nightmare I knew
Would come around some day
Cuz dreams never come true.
I'm tired of holdin
On to anyone new
Because all of the old
Were dreams that never came true.
I don't want nothin
Or someone, too.
The dream that died lately
Is the dream I call you.
And the dream I wanted
Will never come true.
My whole life has been wasted.
I've never been much.
I've come close to dreams that faded
And then lost every bit of trust
Because someone else didn't
Know what they had
And I could never be happy
When I only made them sad...
But though you don't believe me, Honey...
There's one promise
I can make to you...
No matter what else happens...
Dreams never come true.
So if you find somebody
Somebody new...
Know he's no better
Than what I gave to you...
But I have nothin I can give
Cuz you took it all
And made me want somethin
Not worth wearin down my wall.
So I'll build it back up
And let no one through
Since you proved once again
That dreams never come true.
My whole life has been wasted.
I've never been much.
I've come close to dreams that faded
And then lost every bit of trust
Because someone else didn't
Know what they had
And I could never be happy
When I only made them sad...
But though you don't believe me, Honey...
There's one promise
I can make to you...
No matter what else happens...
Dreams never come true.
I spent years
Gettin it all wrong,
Wishin and waitin
For somethin good to come along
And every time I feel it
It leaves me blue
Because everything that seems perfect
Is another dream that won't come true.
I Don’t Need to Know
You told me tonight
That we really need to talk
I said go ahead
You said hardly anything at all
All you could say to me
Is you can't make it work
All I could say was ok
I didn't want to cause you hurt
But I'm the one hurtin here
The one that was left all alone
Maybe I could've believed in it more
Maybe I could've let my feelings show
Maybe you have someone else
Just like I've been thinkin like before
And I don't need to know
I don't need to know
Your reasons for letting go
I don't need to know
What you are leavin me for
I don't need to know
Why I don't measure up
I don't need to know
Except have you left enough
Left enough of anything of me
Except for that
I don't need to know
I don't need to know
Why you don't want me
I don't need to know
Why I didn't hold strong
To somethin right in front of me
I don't need to know
What went wrong this time
I don't need to know
Because it won't make you mine
I don't need to know
Anything except how I can go on
I don't need to know
What you plan to be doin now
I don't need to know
But I wonder if I don't deserve this somehow
You might regret this down the road
But I don't need to know
I don't need to know
Your reasons for letting go
I don't need to know
What you are leavin me for
I don't need to know
Why I don't measure up
I don't need to know
Except have you left enough
Left enough of anything of me
Except for that
I don't need to know
Reaching out in the darkness
I know I'll break down
This might not be anything
But it's all I had and now
I'm almost ashamed of myself
For not believing more
Not trusting someone else
If you change your mind
It won't matter to me
You will come to find
That we could never be
I don't need to know
Your reasons for letting go
