I used to love to hold you when the lights were down low
But it's all over now
You used to whisper little things to set me aglow
But it's all over now

I listened to you tell me little white lies
Never thought you meant to deceive
Whoever would have doubted those innocent eyes
And all the little kisses that you made me believe

Remember how I planned a little home by a stream
Where we?d spend every day
You must have thought me crazy when I painted that dream
'Cause you threw it away

I kinda wish that things would be different
Have a happy ending somehow
But I guess you only took me for a ride in the dark
And it's all over now

Remember how I planned a little home by a stream
Where we?d spend every day
You must have thought me crazy when I painted that dream
'Cause you threw it away

I kinda wish that things would be different
Have a happy ending somehow
But I guess you only took me for a ride in the dark
And it's all, it's all over now
