Hope Alone Lyrics - Become You - Indigo Girls

Let's not drag this out 

Everything's in motion 

Though I've only ever loved you kind 

And with devotion 

Remember when I met you 

You were leaving from the start 

I thought one day you'd probably just come home 

And break my heart 

It's funny what you know 

And still go on pretending 

With no good evidence 

You'll ever see that happy ending 

You 

Looking for your distance 

And sensing my resistance 

You had to do your will

I 

Had to learn the hard way 

We were just an empty dream too big 

For hope alone to fill 

I know I'm a dreamer 

(I know that I'm a) 

So I'll give you that 

(Dreamer) 

Still I hope I'm more than just a place 

(Still I hope I'm more) 

You laid your hat 

(Than a place you laid your hat) 

You're a land of secrets 

(You are its only) 

Its only citizen 

(Citizen) and though I paid my dues 

(Though I paid) 

I was never allowed in 

(I was never allowed in) 

And so I am a stranger 

(So I am a stranger) 

Especially today 

(Especially today) 

Cause I get sad and lonely 

And you get your way 

Photos 

You 

Were looking for your distance 

And sensing my resistance 

You had to do your will 

I 

I had to learn the hard way 

That we were just an empty dream too big 

For hope alone to fill 

Holding on for change i know 

We never stood a chance 

(No we never stood a chance) 

So I could only wait 

And watch you slip right through my hands 

(Watch you slip right through my hands) 

You 

Were always looking for your distance 

And sensing my resistance 

You had to do your will 

I 

I had to learn the hard way 

We were just an empty dream too big 

For hope alone to fill
