Whoever said love is easy was wrong

Because in this world I feel I don’t belong

But this I know, it’s not just me

For there are others who are crying this same plea

 

There’s me, yes indeed

But mom and dad have been touched by this greed

And it’s not just them, no unfortunately not

For best friend has also not forgot

 

We all know this truth for it’s always the same

But this we don’t--who is to blame

Because all we know is we feel this need

And we’re just here trying to succeed

 

So maybe tonight won’t be like the rest

I won’t wake up with that pain in my chest

I won’t wake up with you on my mind

I won’t wake up to a love I can’t find

 

Maybe tonight I will dream other dreams

Dreams where waking up doesn’t end in my screams

 

Maybe tonight won’t be like the rest

I’ll go to bed without that pain in my chest

And the pain in my chest that comes from your name

Will be all gone, racing heartbeat the same

 

Maybe tonight I will dream other dreams

Other dreams than the only ones I have it seems

Ones where I don’t have to be with you

So then when I wake I can start brand new

 

Maybe tonight won’t be like the last

Won’t be like all the other nights in the past

I’ll wake up without you on my brain

Wishing you had not left behind this pain

 

Maybe tonight I’ll dream other dreams

Ones where I don’t wake up with tears in streams

I’ll wake up not wishing you had stayed

I’ll wake up not feeling you had betrayed

 

Maybe tonight I’ll be good as new

Just like I was before I met you

I’ll fall asleep with my mind full of space

So I can wake up with lungs not suffocating from your face

 

We all know this truth for it’s always the same

But this we don’t--who is to blame

Because all we know is we feel this need

And we’re just here trying to succeed

 

There’s me, yes indeed

But mom and dad have been touched by this greed

And it’s not just them, no unfortunately not

For best friend has also not forgot

 

Whoever said love is easy was wrong

Because in this world I feel I don’t belong

But this I know, it’s not just me

For there are others who are crying this same plea

 

Though it pains me to say

I’ll admit, sometimes I still have a bad day

Where I hope you miss me and I hope it hurts

Hurts the same way it did when you took back your shirts

 

As much as I wanted you and that was a lot

I know I’m better off anywhere you’re not

No longer will I wake up longing for your touch

Instead I’ll wake up missing you too much

 

How did it take so long to see you were never here

It seems all you ever did was disappear

Because you were always gone

You weren’t someone to count on

 

Well really I’m not missing you at all

Not now I realize you were my biggest downfall

Well now I know what we had wasn’t good

You played mind games with me because you knew you could

 

It seems I was never good enough for you

Always running around with someone new

In the end someone always hurt

Too often it was me, yet you remained unhurt

 

For love is not a fairy tale

That ship has long set sail

It seems there is no happily ever after

Just some old memories filled with laughter

 

So sometimes I hope you miss me and I hope it hurts

You hurt me real bad, so I hope I hurt you worse

But most days when I think back to what we had

I can remember our days and I’m no longer sad

 

For love is a lesson we all learn

And love is something we all yearn

But it’s not all it’s cracked up to be

It’s really not you’ll see

 

Whoever said love is easy was wrong

Because in this world I feel I don’t belong

But this I know, it’s not just me

For there are others who are crying this same plea

 

There’s me, yes indeed

But mom and dad have been touched by this greed

And it’s not just them, no unfortunately not

For best friend has also not forgot

 

We all know this truth for it’s always the same

But this we don’t--who is to blame

Because all we know is we feel this need

And we’re just here trying to succeed

 

Love is hard no matter what you hear

It will never change even from year to year

Because one person falls harder for the other

And this will continue one after the other
