Loved the idea*

Listen

Do you remember what we talked about
Long ago when you were mine

You said you never had anyone
I said I’d never let you down

Well times are changing and so are we
This is how life is supposed to be

It is time I let you go
I will never let you know

I think I loved the idea of you
More than I loved you

It’s very strange that I never understood
Any of the things I should

I was clearly too blind to see
That we were never meant to be

But of all the women that I have known
You are the one who knew me least

And I think it is fair to say
That also works the other way

I think you loved the idea of me
More than you loved me
