knowing that someone like you was never gonna change i fell in way over my head and ill take that blame fearing the truth of it all i hid my tears behind a smile aiming for love i shot straight for the heart but i missed it by a mile no more trying no more crying no more fooling myself ive had enough ive given up i put my heart back on the shelf i long to feel a love so real but i knew better all the while aiming for love i shot straight for the heart but i missed it by a mile staring through the window of time i see reflections of a fool chasing some crazy old dream that never came true hopelessly blinded by love i was captured by your smile aiming for love i shot straight for the heart but i missed it by a mile no more trying no more crying no more fooling myself ive had enough ive given up i put my heart back on the shelf i long to feel a love so real but i knew better all the while aiming for love i shot straight for the heart but i missed it by a mile girl i missed it by a mile
