You held my heart though you did not want it

You let me love you all the same

I never knew just why you had done it

but I suppose we were both to blame

I was the fool who believed in dreams

you were the girl used to keep me

that was when I learned the world was not as it seems

and about the shame of loving too deeply

All I wanted was something that did not exist

but no romance can live up to fairytales

and all happy endings have some kind of twist

I guess my love-boat had broken sails
