I've held on so long, to what I want you to become
I see that you are not what I dreamed you'd be that's not your faultSee long ago I made up my mind
She would be the love of my life
Now I see ignorance is bliss
I fell in love with an idea in my head, but that's not who she isSee I, I'll take a thought
and I'll let it grow to underneath its weight I am caught
Then all I saw was a glimpse
Of who you might be, and I lay down these bricksBuilding walls so lovely and strong
Theres no way no chance I am wrong
Our castle stands and I know just where she'll fit
She'll be with me here in my arms and I'm crazy in love
With who I think she isAnd when I finally get to see you
And I latch onto the hope I see in you
Now I let go, I see that theres a chance
What I hoped for might actually be soBut I cannot justify this
Small suspicion that is slowly creeping in
That the castle walls are shaken
I fight the fact maybe I was mistakenAnd I hate what I knew
That nothing was real in all that I had believed to be true
And walls came crumbling down
And all I could think is where is all of that wasted time nowSee long ago I made up my mind
She would be the love of my life
Now I see I never really knew you one bit
See I fell in love with an idea in my head
But thats not who she is, thats just not who she is
But thats not who she is
