album: Because You Believed in Me/Beautiful Country [Hux] (2005)
genre: 

(David Barnes)

Since the day I met you I've been living in a dream
Knowing all the while our love was wrong
And all the times you mentioned him were you and part between
I knew we could never love for long.

I shouldn't give a second thought of how it might have been
I shouldn't even miss you when you're gone
I knew the day would come and you'd go running back to him
I knew we could never love for long.

I knew at times you missed him cause I heard you when you cried
I guess that he was always on your mind
But I thought that I could take it when you finally said goodbye
Oh, how could I have ever been so blind.

I could never blame you cause I knew it from the start
You never really tried to lead me on
So tell me why this empty feeling's tearing me apart
When I knew we could never love for long.

So tell me why this empty feeling's tearing me apart
When I knew we could never love for long...
