I Knew We Could Never Love For Long

(album: Beautiful Country - 1977)

Since the day I met you I've been living in a dream
Knowing all the while our love was wrong
And all the times you mentioned him were you and part between
I knew we could never love for long

I shouldn't give a second thought of how it might have been
I shouldn't even miss you when you're gone
I knew the day would come and you'd go running back to him
I knew we could never love for long

I knew at times you missed him 'cause I heard you when you cried
I guess that he was always on your mind
But I thought that I could take it when you finally said goodbye
Oh how could I have ever been so blind

I could never blame you 'cause I knew it from the start
You never really tried to lead me on
So tell me why this empty feeling's tearing me apart
When I knew we could never love for long

So tell me why this empty feeling's tearing me apart
When I knew we could never love for long
