Lyrics

will i see your face, will i see your eyes tonight
will i feel them glowing in the pale lamplight
will i know you smiling only in my dreams
or will i find you hiding somewhere in between?

whatever our lives are here to tell me
i will never change, i will never change
and whatever lies you care to sell me
you will never, you will never stay the same
i will never change and you will never be the same

and you know it's wishful thinking
to live in a world without pain
oh and you know it's wishful thinking
to believe i'll ever see your smile again

oh should i have known you weren't the one for me
oh but how i could not bear that pained reality
oh on that first kiss, such rapture and delight
why do you, so soon thereafter, surrender to such fright?

whatever this life may place upon me
you know that i'll only want you more
and whatever sights you see before me
you'll never have me, as you've said before
you know that i want you, but you'll not have me

(repeat chorus)
