I saw you in a dark room Feeling anxious looking blue I saw the look upon your face A picture that I can't erase
That was a lost dream I've had since I was seventeen I could not believe my ears I had to find out on a screen
I don't understand what I've lost I don't understand who took it from me I don't want to know the cost I don't want to have the bonds from me transformed Everybody plays a part And this is your part and why can't you accept that It's who you are It's who you are
I am the last in a line of a long line of lovers Pray the day arrives that I can make some meaning of my troubles For now I just accept that what is lost is lost forever I only want what's best for you I only want what's best for you
Now what's the worst that they could do Even worse was making it through Only to relive the pain Over and over
I might understand what I've lost But your loss is beyond all measure And if I could afford the cost To take you from there, to take you to another time And you could light a cigarette And think of your boy and think about your future It's who you are It's who you are
I am the last in a line of a long line of lovers Pray the day arrives that I can make some meaning of my troubles For now I just accept that what is lost is lost forever I only want what's best for you I only want what's best for you
