After thirteen long months alone
I thought that I had found someone
who made me feel alive again

I let down all of my armor
started tearing down the walls
to let a little light in

but sometimes it's just so hard to see
anything good in me
I guess that I'm just not the one she needs
I guess that it just wasn't meant to be

[chorus]
I'll always remember all the time we had together
and you know i'll always cherish all the laughter that we shared
but this optimistic outlook doesn't do me any good
so I'll try to start pretending that I don't care


I said that I'd never fall in
love again but I did.
How could I let this happen?

She's been everything a boy could
dream of.  I think I should
marry her, oh I would

but sometimes it's just so hard to see
anything good in me
I guess that I'm just not the one she needs
I guess that it just wasn't meant to be

(chorus)


I'll try to start pretending
that everything's okay
I'll try to make it through
try to make it through another day
I'll try to start pretending
that she doesn't mean a thing to me
but she's everything
she's everything


I wrote every song about her
and ever since I found her
I never wanted anyone else

So some day I hope that she will see
everything good in me
I hope some day I'll be the one she needs
I trust in fate, and this is meant to be
