Feeling so innocent despite 
This room of jaded overtones 
I said come see me if you'd like 
And when you took me for a ride 
You took away about all I'd assumed 
And when I said it's not to be 
It made a lot of sense to me 
And it only makes more now 
That's not to say that it's all changed 
Sometimes the feelings are the same 
But I guess we'll never know 
 
A promise is no guarantee 
What's said is meant to follow through 
As much as you had hoped to see 
These chances I would never take 
Until I'd know how much we'd had at stake 
And when I said it's not to be 
It made a lot of sense to me 
And it only makes more now 
That's not to say that it's all changed 
Sometimes the feelings are the same 
But I guess we'll never know 
 
Love, you said to me, is like being struck by lightning 
I wonder if it ever will 
Answer all your prayers and scar you for a lifetime 
But then again I guess you'd never tell 
And when I said it's not to be 
It made a lot of sense to me 
And it only makes more now 
That's not to say that it's all changed 
Sometimes the feelings are the same 
But I guess we'll never know
