Why Do I Go On

In my mind I thought I could wait forever more

Just to have you next to me

And though my heart is like an open door

I know you will never be with me

I was a fool to think a woman such as you

Would give the time of day to make my dreams come true

In my dreams I had this vision oh so clear

You and I would be as one 

But every time I had you oh so near

You’d turn away from me and run

I was a fool to think a woman with your charm

Would take a man like me and hold me in your arms

Why do I go on (why do I go on)

When I know this dream is gone

And why do I still try (why do I still try)

When I know this dream has died

Why do I pretend the day will ever come

When we will be together, our hearts will be as one

In my mind, I thought I could wait forever more

But now I’m running out of time

So now my heart is closing every door

Accepting the fact you will never be mine

I was a fool so long, I hope that in the end

My heart will open up and I can love again
