What happens when your safe place leaves? What happens when the one you trust won't hear your plea? What happens when your daydreams end? You lose all the comfort you'd invested in I dream that someday I'll find the peace I need It seems that my nightmares always end with these things And I try to block it out, but I won't forget the fall What happens when your lover's gone? What happens when it don't go just the way you thought? What happens when the mat's pulled out? You're falling and you don't know how to face a crowd What a shock, what a scare Two nights ago I was holding your hand What a crack, what a joke Don't know if I should pat you on the back or watch you go And I try to block it out, but I won't forget the fall This is not what I had in mind when I told you I'd be by your side No, this is not what I had in mind when I told you I would always try No, this is not what I had meant when I asked you if you'd be my man This is not what I had planned when I told you I'd be your woman Oh no no, no no no I wanted you so My hope was strong but overpowered By a boy whose faith was swallowed by his doubt
