Life was simple way back then

 When candy hearts made promises

 They used to make you blush

 Which always made me smile

But darling how the times have changed

 Those sugared words have lost their ways

 If only it was simple

 As it was back then

I don't want you

Just to love me

For what I do

For what I do

I can't love you

Like I've told you

If only we knew

 That love was never meant for me and you

I remember you back then

 Your crooked teeth and stupid grin

 You always called me lovely

 You always seemed to care

But candy hearts, they disappeared

 As time went on, your words weren't clear

 You said you'd always love me

 You said you'd always be there

I don't want you

Just to love me

For what I do

For what I do

I can't love you

Like I've told you

If only we knew

 That love was never meant for me and you

I'm sorry dear, I've gone astray

 The candy hearts are on their way

 They used to make you smile

 But now they've made you say

It never was about the words

 I listened for the things unheard

 But hearts cannot be changed

 If words are in the way

I don't want you

Just to love me

For what I do

For what I do

I can't love you

Like I've told you

If only we knew

 That love was never meant for me and you

If only we knew

 That candy hearts could not make love come true
