It wasn't that I didn't wanna hold your hand
I just knew if we held tight once
we would ever let go
It wasn't that I didn't want to call you mine
But - you're not mine

And, it wasn't that you didn't make me happy
Because, my dear, you made me so happy
But, the happiness that we shared
wasn't meant for us as a pair
Oh, no

As our hearts heal up and we walk
barefoot through all the settled stardust
Let us, let go of all that we are not
And, as our minds - they will clear up
and we know that we are not to love
Let us stop, let us stop
tilting the watering can over
the soil that holds us now
Because, we were never meant to grow

It wasn't that I didn't ever write you notes
I was always just to scared to send them through the post
The truth that they entailed
stopped them from being stamped and mailed
Oh, it wasn't that I didn't write you notes

As our hearts heal up
and we walk barefoot through all the settled stardust
Let us, let go of all that we are not
And, as our minds - they will clear up
and we know that we are not to love
Let us stop, let us stop
tilting the watering can over
the soil that holds us now
Because, we were never meant to grow
