Indigo Girls - Hope Alone lyrics

Let's not drag this out, everything's in motion Though I've only ever loved you kind and with devotion I remember when I met you and even from the start I thought one day you'd probably just come home and break my heart It's funny what you know and still go on pretending With no good evidence you'll ever see that happy ending You were looking for your distance and sensing my resistance you had to do your will I had to learn the hard way We were just an empty dream too big for hope alone to fill I know I'm a dreamer, so I'll give you that Still I hope I'm more than just a place you laid your hat You're a land of secrets, its only citizen And though I paid my dues I was never allowed in And so I am a stranger but especially today As I get sad and lonely and you get your way You were looking for your distance and sensing my resistance you had to do your will I had to learn the hard way We were just an empty dream too big for hope alone to fill Holding out for change I know we never stood a chance So I could only wait and watch you slip right through my hands
