But even the most naive would agree
That nothing is just as it seemed to be
And maybe a dream's nothing more than a dream
If it can't get you what you need

Who knew I would have my heart broken instead
When he said he thinks we're better as friends

But even the greatest of cynics would admit
They hold onto hope just a tiny bit
And since I met you, I've been in disbelief
That someone like you could love someone like me
