Well, it started out just like a dream and like a dream,
I knew that what we had would have to end.
Cause, I was looking for a lifetime lover and
You were looking for a friend.
Someone to be there after all your nighttime lovers had gone,
The way they came.
Someone who knew how to play,
Your daytime games.

It's not the same.

Well, I started out pretending that I'd come to mean
Enough to you, to make you want to change.
Then I came to realize that there was just too much of you,
You'd have to rearrange.
And I couldn't bear to wait around for all your nighttime
Lovers to go, the way they came.
And it came to hurt too much for me to have to play,
Your daytime games.

No one's to blame.

Well, it started out just like a dream and like a dream,
I knew that what we had would have to end.
Cause I was looking for a lifetime lover and
You were looking for a friend.
