Lyrics

It wasn't meant to be
Or so we say when words can't say the way we feel
It sure is hard to see
When you hide behind some wishful view of what is real
I found out the hard way
That life is seldom what it seems
If there was one place I could be
It would be in your dreams

The world is such a lonely place from a midnight point of view
Sometimes love laughs in your face and it crashes in on you
Your broken dream's such a worn-out theme
And you don't know what to do
The world is such a lonely place from a midnight point of view

You turned and walked away
You took my dreams and left behind this broken love
I don't know what to say
I never knew the things you felt weren't good enough
I should have listened closely
So I could hear between the lines
If there was one thing I could change
I would surely change your mind

The world is such a lonely place from a midnight point of view
Sometimes love laughs in your face and it crashes in on you
Your broken dream's such a worn-out theme
And you don't know what to do
The world is such a lonely place from a midnight point of view

I keep trying to hold on
Even through our last goodbye
But if there was one more chance for me
I'd have seen it in your eyes

The world is such a lonely place from a midnight point of view
Sometimes love laughs in your face and it crashes in on you
Your broken dream's such a worn-out theme
And you don't know what to do
The world is such a lonely place from a midnight point of view
A midnight point of view
