What is a train for but going?
What is the wind for if not blowing?
What is a kiss for but saying goodbye?
Built my hope on forever
I should have known better
What is love for but making you cry?

What is the snow for but falling?
What is your name for but calling?
What is a tear for but wondering why?
Built my hope on forever
I should have known better
What is love for but making you cry?

And I know, you can't give me an answer
And I know, you've made up your mind
You can go and I won't try to follow
But you can't ask me to be something I'm not

And I know, you can't give me an answer
And I know, you've made up your mind
You can go and I won't try to follow
But you can't ask me to be something I'm not

What is the night for but calling?
What is a star for but falling?
What is the moon for but pulling the tide?
Built my love on forever
I should have known better
What is hope for but making you cry?
