In that magnificent moment of slumber
I thought you could've learned to love me
You could have gotten use to me
Use to holding me and keeping me close.

In that marvelous moment of sleep
I felt I had a chance
Thought maybe you could lift me
Place me on a pedastal and adore me.

I could feel the soft of your toes
Nuzzling against my shy calves
As I held you firmly in the dark
...How was I to know?
]|| You were never meant for me ||[

The taste of your mouth (behind closed lids)
Was budding a rose in my desiccated heart
A heart that needed you
A heart that had you in sleep.

Nighttime is the best time of day
Forget the worries of yesterday
Envision Spring's breath bringing you to me
...But how was I to know
]|| You were never meant for me ||[

You were just shy and intimidated
That's what they all told me
That's how they all assured me
...But how was I to know?

How was I to know
You loved moments when I was gone
You smiled not at me, but for me
As I left that big room for good.

How was I to know...

You were never meant for me?
