This Can Never Be

There was a time when I dreamed you could love me
But now I realise that this can never be.
No matter how often I dream you're near
I know that you'll never be next to me, here.

There was a time when I believed you'd leave her for me
But now I realise that this can never be.
I can dream that one day you'll give me your heart
But I know that the truth is you'll tear mine apart.

There was a time I believed you'd come home for me
but now I realise that this can never be.
I often imagine you running to me
But in my heart I know this can never be.
