It can't be
I mean, I wish it could be
It could never be
I wish it could've been
But I'm a mess, you see
And there's no hope for me
The best thing I can be is
A memory in your make-believe
Oh, how I wish this
Could end differently
But you're too good for me
That's not so hard to see
But it is hard for me
To let you go, my love
For I do love you so
And that is something
That I hope you'll always know
It can't be
I mean
I wish it could be
It could never be
I wish it could've been
But I'm a mess, you see
And there's no hope for me
The best thing I can be is
A memory in your make-believe
Make no mistake, dear
I will still dream of you
I don't know how not to
And I'm still wanting to
Meet you inside that world
That's where I like to be
Because you're always there
Holding hands with me imaginarily
It can't be
I mean
I wish it could be
It could never be
I wish it could've been
But I'm a mess, you see
And there's no hope for me
The best thing I can be is
A memory in your make-believe
