I sensed a moment in time It was a moment of mine When I thought I loved you I thought I loved you But I was mistaken this time A self-deception of mine How could I love you How could I love you If you didn’t love me too
We can pretend our love is real But it’s pretense that we feel Another act to follow A show and tell of what’s hollow Know that love is what you give Not a checklist for how to live How I wish I could love you And I could love you If you would love me too.
Fate deals its cruel hand Because fate doesn’t understand How unrequited love Leads to ruination of the self I raise my drawbridge Bark my orders Bare my soul to trusted soldiers “Defend the gates, Let no one in Unless they vow to let love in.”
And in this moment in time It could be so sublime If I knew I loved you If I knew I loved you Was I mistaken this time A grand deception of mine I would love you I would love you If you would love me too
