You held me in your arms
I knew I stood a chance
To be with you forever
It started with this last slow dance
From that point on I knew
That we were meant to be
And that no matter what happened
You'd always be there for me

I've looked beyond the stars
Searched far beyond the seas
Looking for my one true love
Who would be there for me
To open up my eyes
And help me experience love
The kind you hear in fairy tales
The kind we can only dream of

Pictures of our past
Haunt me in my sleep
Wondering what happened
To all we tried to keep
It went so very perfect
I don 't understand the change
We couldn't say I love you
We're drifted...now it's all too strange

They say never look back
For it’s just too late
But I still have the memories
And they keep me awake
I know it’s hard to see it happen
I don’t want it to,
Because I still believe in us
The dreams I had with you

I hate that you don't love me
I hate that I even care
I hate that you don't notice me
Even when I'm right there
I hate that I don't matter
That I will never be yours
But that's the way love is
When you're only the girl next door

Don't give it up if you're not willing to let it go

I always thought it'd happened
I'd be loved by only you
And now that dream's a reality
It's finally come true
But suddenly the dream has faded
I'm left without a clue
Some things aren't meant to happen
Including me and you

Don't you worry about me
I'm gonna be alright
It doesn't matter to me
Staying up all night
Thinking about the past
And what could have been
Sometimes the game is over
And you just can't win

Feels like only yesterday
I was falling fast for you
Every word you ever said
Made me believe was true
No longer will I look for
The one that's meant for me
Because you're standing here
Loving me for all eternity

The one i always wanted
Will never be mine,
I wish that i would be able to say
That I'm wasting my time.
But i can't seem to forget him
His smile or his charm
How I long to be with him
Forever in his arms
