I always had hope,
But we couldn't.
Realistic love;
unrealistic dreams.
If only I had the chance
to start over,
to make things right.
This state of confusion
leaves my questioning,
uncertain,
doubting heart
afraid and alone.
Without a goodbye
or farewell,
my love.
If only we had everything
on our side
and a fair chance,
maybe we could save
our wounded hearts.
If we could find
something deep inside
and revive ourselves.
Some way
to save this failing love...
I never gave up on us.
But we fell apart
and now I'm crying
because I wanted
it to work so much.
But reality
was never on our side
and it threatened
to pull us down,
and we wouldn't listen.
We wanted to defy it all.
