a love that never was

[B`dgyr]

I guess I'm the fool again
sitting back here watching you together
I see so much that could have been
And I've never seen you happier

So shame on me for wishing things otherwise
Shame on me for seeing things that were never there
Shame on me for dreaming things that would never be
Shame
Shame on me

I wish I could cry.
I wish I could scream.
But instead I will smile
and laugh out loud again.

And I know that guys like you
never look at girls like me.
We're ok to drink and hang with
but not for love it seems

Shame Shame on me.

[B`dgyr]

Well I
got what I thought that I wanted
And I
enjoyed it while it lasted
There was somethin there
But then she came along

Now I
sit alone at night again
And I
wish you would come back around
But it doesn't look like I'm gonna win
No I'm not gonna win

So I raise my glass
to a woman who bested me
I give credit where it's due
Even when I don't have a clue
Just exactly how she did it
But she seems to have captured you
To rapture you

So I
say farewell to unnatural dreams
And I
wave goodbye to what might have been
I close my door and pretend
I never cared about you

I could
find a way to fight
I could
find a way to be what you think you want
But then again
I want you to have what you need
And I know
that that isn't me.

I'll be here
When its all said and done
I'll be here
if you should find yourself alone again
I'll be here
Waiting to comfort you again

[B`dgyr]

Now there's no hope left
Now I have seen the ring on her finger
And I am bereft
And all alone

You won't even look me in the eye
Guess you don't want to see
Guess you don't want to realize
What you did to me

I am stronger than this
I am better day by day
And I know
You never cared for me anyway

So I wish you happiness
And may all your dreams come true
And should you find you were wrong
I'll not be waiting here for you

I did it once before
I waited patiently
And when you came nightly to my door
I was all you needed me to be

I offered you my shoulder
And I showed to you my tears
You took what I had to offer
And then you left me here.

I cannot call you false
For you never lied
you never said you cared
and now she's the one by your side

Enjoy it while it lasts
I've a feeling it won't be long
Before you come back to me
For my pain to make you strong
