I built you for me, night by night Dreamed up new features, 'til you're just right You seemed so perfect, 'til morning came And snuffed you out like a candle flame

You say you love me, and that's not fair I want to love you, but you're not there From dawn to dusk, there is too much space When I close my eyes, I see your face

I try to get back to you some nights Each time is cut short by sunlight Something's not right, there's one thing wrong Your love is too sweet, a siren's song The feeling seems real, but it's not true I love the idea of loving you

Now I lay me down to sleep I ask the lord, if we could meet And if you leave before I wake I ask the lord, my pain to take For I just cannot make it through The rest of my life missing you These feelings seem real, but they're not true I love the idea of loving you

You're the princess in my love story My only interest, the right one for me But you're too perfect, you don't exist It's only in my dreams we kiss

You'd be surprised at just how much time Throughout the day that you're on my mind The ideal person, you just make sense Why should I settle for something less

I don't know, but the right choice seems To be give you up and stop chasing dreams I hate to say this, it hurts to try But tonight's the night we say our goodbyes

I try to get back to you some nights Each time is cut short by sunlight Something's not right, there's one thing wrong Your love is too sweet, a siren's song The feeling seems real, but it's not true I love the idea of loving you

Now I lay me down to sleep I ask the lord, if we could meet And if you leave before I wake I ask the lord, my pain to take For I just cannot make it through The rest of my life missing you These feelings seem real, but they're not true I love the idea of loving you
