True Romance

Open your eyes and see me
Tell me it's not too late
Whisper to me of a sad song
Weighing us down in shame

I always said I believed you
You told me that was so cliché
And with every kiss, I resented you
Because your feelings never got in the way

I know that you never loved me
I know that you never cared at all
Maybe just one more dance
'Cause that's as close as we're gettin' to a true romance

Open your heart and feel me
Tell me you don't feel the same
I dig down deep for forgiveness
And feel you're busy placing the blame

This isn't about right or wrong now
It's not about wasted time
I should've paid closer attention
But I didn't bother reading the signs

I know that you never loved me
I know that you never cared at all
No, my love, we can't be friends
In fact, I liked you much better when you just pretend

I know that you never loved me
I know that you never cared at all
Maybe just one more dance
'Cause that's as close as we're gettin' to a true romance

Open your arms and hold me
Tell me it'll be alright
Tell me the thing you've never told a soul
That keeps you up at night

When could you tell it was over?
When did you turn on me?
I'd cry if I thought it would change your mind
Cry for the girl I'd hoped you to be

I know that you never loved me
I know that you never cared at all
No, my love, we can't be friends
In fact, I liked you much better when you just pretend

I know that you never loved me
I know that you never cared at all
Maybe just one more dance
'Cause that's as close as we're gettin' to a true romance
