Our love Like all young love Was doomed from the start Because Our love Was all body and no heart Trying on grownup feelings Play-acting what we thought love might be Not knowing what love was Something we couldn't comprehend And I could never understand Why I wasn't enough It was never going to work and I didn't know that we had to end We were running 'round in circles What we had was all pretend The fairytales lied Told me dreams could come true That we could work if I tried All I needed was you And I tried to keep you Tried to force you into my heart I was afraid to admit we'd lost Even when I no longer loved you And no matter how many new starts I couldn't jettison the sunken cost We were not enough And we would never be We were far too young There was too much to see The horizon was much too vast To put down roots together The dream of us had passed We would never be forever My clinging, stubborn mind And your self-invested pride Leading to the same dead end Until you and me Stopped trying to be fantasies And became real people instead
