not the one that you want,
I'm not the one that you need
I'll keep you distracted a while
A dream of how life ought to be
My dreams had no one like you,
and your dreams had no one like me.
Life is the thing that we do,
while we wait for the life we expect.
Now all I'm asking of you
It seems love like ours don't come cheap
And here I am counting the cost
Wondering what I get to keep
From everything I might have lost
Life is the thing that we do
While weighing and hedging
Now all I'm asking of you
How could I know when we met
I'd end up so broken and blue
All I am asking you now is to let
Your heart's been broken, you said
My heart has been broken, too
Sometimes you wished you were dead,
but then you found somebody new.
Life is the thing that we do,
while we're struggling with pain and regret.
Now all I'm asking of you
How could I know when we met
I'd end up so broken an d blue
All I am asking you now is to let me forget
