lyrics

I used to think that I could make you happy
I used to think the love we shared
Was deep inside you now
But now I see I must seem very boring
And easily replaceable somehow

A distant yawn, a silent end
The dial tone holds us forgiven
My tears echo a silent prayer
That love remains intact, but clearly under attack
From both sides and from within

I used to dream that I could sweep you off your feet
So gracefully and free, into a fantasy
But now I know that it takes more than love or chivalry
To be the one that's in your dreams
'Cause you don't seem to know

Well, obviously...
I wonder how you felt my words held no conviction
How my trust put up with your dishonesty
Betrayal plays a tricky game
Where both sides always lose the same
Excuses from this distance
Excuses for compassion

I've fought off all my demons
So how about yours now?
You've given me good reasons
To ask these questions fairly
A single breath is all you get
I'll never bend to you again
It's you that brought this heartbreak
It's you that brought me here to my knees

I used to dream that I could sweep you off your feet
So gracefully and free, into a fantasy
But now I know that it takes more than love or chivalry
To be the one that's in your dreams
'Cause no one's that empty
No, no one's that empty
No one will ever be that empty
