You're the guy who's always on the run
I tried to catch you baby, just for fun
I stood and waited right outside your door
And I tried to call it fate when you knocked me to the floor
I tried to make you love me and you thought you could
You divied up your heart the way you thought you should
And I held it all together with staples and glue
Now I'm making peace with a dream that won't come true
Some people dream they're gonna walk on Mars
Or climb up a mountain till they touch the stars
Or dive to the bottom of the ocean blue
My big dream was being perfect for you
I tried to make you love me and you thought you could
You divied up your heart the way you thought you should
And I held it all together with staples and glue
Now I'm making peace with a dream that won't come true
When you couldn't be a lover
I became a fighter
You dimmed your torch
I burned mine brighter
Then I lost my will
And you wouldn't lift a finger
Now our love is gonna be
A dream without a dreamer
I'm no quitter but I've had enough
I've got a stack of better dreams to love
Right now that's exactly what I'm gonna do
Now that I'm not so busy chasing after you
I tried to make you love me and you thought you could
You divied up your heart the way you thought you should
And I held it all together with staples and glue
Now I'm making peace with a dream that won't come true
