Gone are the lonely days, I thought, my dear

Gone are the lonely days, I thought, my dear
 Taking away all of the solo years
 I thought you were the one - that felt so clear
 Now I don't know whether to trust or fear

 I thought I knew your name, finding the truth and now feeling ashamed
 I thought I knew your way, hearing your words that I just can't obey
 I thought for just one day I would give in and start walking away
 I thought I had my say - that I'm in love and I don't want to stay

 Gone are the sorry eyes, I thought, my dear
 Wiping away all of the lonely tears
 I saw my life begin, it felt so clear
 I thought you loved me back, it felt sincere

 I thought I knew your name, finding the truth and now feeling ashamed
 I thought I knew your way, hearing your words that I just can't obey
 I thought for just one day I would give in and start walking away
 I thought I had my say - that I'm in love and I don't want to stay
