All the love in the world couldn't save you All the innocence inside You know I tried so hard to make you Oh I wanna make you change your mind And it hurts too much to see you And how you left yourself behind You know I wouldn't want to be you Now there's a hell I can't describe So now I wander through my days Trying to find my ways To the feelings that I felt I saved for you and no one else And though as long as this road seems I know it's called the street of dreams But that's not stardust on my feet It leaves a taste that's bittersweet That's called the blues I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you You know it's what you planned, this much is true What I thought was beautiful, don't live inside of you anymore I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go I see you You know it's what you planned, this much is true What I thought was beautiful, don't live inside of you anymore What this means to me Is more than I know you believe What I thought of you now Has cost more that it should for me What I thought was true before Were lies I couldn't see What I thought was beautiful Is only memories
