Sounds : Lyrics

you made me think things were possible
things i believed that were not to be had
i started to feel that just maybe
my life wouldn't be quite as sad

i began to allow myself
to believe this might last
soon enough though i knew
you're the wrong person, wrong place

the voices, the red flags, the writing on the wall
i tried to ignore them
because i saw in my dreams
the past in my future

i should have known better
that this wasn't to be
instead i wished with everything
inside of me

that maybe, just maybe
i just hadn't seen
what i saw and i knew
in my minds eye to be

we're not on the same page
or in the same place
our agendas are different
and so are our fates

i feel i must thank you though
for this temporary grace
you've relit the candle
put a smile on my face

because without it i'd still think
that it's just not to be
but it could be, just not
between you and me
