You said forever I believed it true
Now I'm alone with memories of you
The room is silent the night so deep
While promises are all asleep
I lit a candle watched it glow
But like our love it burned too low
You should've known you should've seen
This wasn't how it's meant to be
You should've known you should've tried
To keep my heart from tears I've cried
Now the dream is over love is gone
I'm left here standing all alone
When dreams are gone when dreams are gone
I'll learn to be strong on my own
Your photo's fading on the wall
I hear your voice I miss your call
The world keeps turning slow and gray
Since you decided not to stay
I close my eyes I see your face
But in this cold and empty space
You should've known you should've seen
This wasn't how it's meant to be
You should've known you should've tried
To keep my heart from tears I've cried
Now the dream is over love is gone
I'm left here standing all alone
When dreams are gone when dreams are gone
I'll learn to be strong on my own
The stars don't shine like they did before
Now I'm waking up can't dream no more
My heart is aching but I'll survive
I'll find a way to stay alive
You should've known you should've seen
This wasn't how it's meant to be
You should've known you should've tried
To keep my heart from tears I've cried
Now the dream is over love is gone
I'm left here standing all alone
When dreams are gone when dreams are gone
I'll learn to be strong on my own
When dreams are gone I'll carry on
When dreams are gone I'll be strong
