If You Only Knew

When I first meet you
I still believed in love
The kind of sweet love
Only a little girl dreams of

When I first met you
It was like a dream come true
Nothing could stand in our way
I believed in us, I believed in you

I trusted you with all of me
I let you see this broken heart
I let you see this naked soul
You'd catch me if I fell apart 

I look back on those moments
And wonder how foolish could I be
Although I gave you my all
You didn't feel the same for me

That love that I was dreamed of
Is nothing more than a plaque on the wall
A decorative piece to fill in the space
Something cheap you buy at the mall 

And that's the end
No reason to cry or be sad
Something you took for granted
You'll never know what you had
