I thought I made it clear
I never really meant any harm
She wanted more than I could give
I lacked luster and charm
So I took on the pain
Of losing what was never known
Something true was lost in vain
The words I said were written in stone
I could never be what she wants me to be
Could never hold her too close
I could never share in the dreams she dreamed
When I tried I froze
Chorus:
That was all I could do
Now she's all alone, always alone
And it's breaking my heart
That was all I could do
Now she is alone
She still believes she'll find it here
Believes in time I'll somehow change
I've been the same for years
I just can't rearrange
I could never be what she wants me to be
Could never hold her too close
I could never share in the dreams she dreamed
When I tried I froze
Chorus
