I loved her quiet, loved her deep
She never felt the love I keep
I read her signs upside down
She never saw me around

I gave her nights, I gave time
She gave me cold replies
I held her like something true
She held the world, I wasn’t you

I dreamed of her, night after night
While she walked away from my life
I dreamed of her again and again
But all she ever gave me was pain

I drank my hope in cheap red wine
She danced somewhere at half past nine
I waited like a fool in line
For a love that was never mine

I built a fire,
she felt no flame
I called her name,
she never came

I dreamed of her, night after night
While she walked away from my life
I dreamed of her again and again
But all she ever gave me was pain

Wrong love cuts deeper than a knife
It steals your youth, it breaks your spine
You learn too late, you pay the cost
When love is real, but feeling’s lost

I dreamed of her, night after night
While she walked away from my life
I dreamed of her again and again
But all she ever gave me was pain
