Never Be

I know why you feel so down
And why you're often blue-
It's because you and I both know
That dreams just don't come true.
There is no such thing
As "love conquers all"
If you believe all that
You'll crash and fall.
Love doesn't matter these days
Not to those up top.
All they care about
Is how they can stop us
From getting ahead in life.
I'll always be your lover
I'll forever be your friend
But sadly my sweet
I'll never be your wife.
Too many factors are unknown,
There's so much I don't trust.
I'd rather be happy
And get along in life
Then be sad and alone
And slowly turn to rust.
So I must ask you to depart
Knowing you'll always have
That shard from my heart
But sadly my sweet
I'll never be your wife.
