This room of jaded overtones 
                I said come see me if you'd like 
                 And when you took me for a ride 
               You took away about all I'd assumed 
                 And when I said it's not to be 
                  It made a lot of sense to me 
                   And it only makes more now 
             That's not to say that it's all changed 
               Sometimes the feelings are the same 
                  But I guess we'll never know 
 
                    A promise is no guarantee 
             What's said is meant to follow through 
                 As much as you had hoped to see 
                These chances I would never take 
            Until I'd know how much we'd had at stake 
                 And when I said it's not to be 
                  It made a lot of sense to me 
                   And it only makes more now 
             That's not to say that it's all changed 
               Sometimes the feelings are the same 
                  But I guess we'll never know 
 
     Love, you said to me, is like being struck by lightning 
                    I wonder if it ever will 
       Answer all your prayers and scar you for a lifetime 
             But then again I guess you'd never tell 
                 And when I said it's not to be 
                  It made a lot of sense to me 
                   And it only makes more now 
             That's not to say that it's all changed 
               Sometimes the feelings are the same 
                  But I guess we'll never know
