I can't hold you, but I can't let you go
Tho' that look in your eye, tells me all I need to know
The thought of you not lovin' me is too much to believe
Everything I've ever lived for is just about leave

But love's not everything, it's just a crazy dream
That breaks your heart in two then goes and leaves you blue
And dreams just don't come true, why look at me and you
If this is what true love brings, then love's not everything

It's the way that you don't touch me
You don't have to say a word
It's not something someone told me
It's nothin' that I've heard
I know that with your leavin comes a season of regret
Though time may heal this pain I feel, I know I won't forget

That love's not everything, it's just a crazy dream
That breaks your heart in two then goes and leaves you blue
And dreams just don't come true, why look at me and you
If this is what true love brings, then love's not everything
If this is what true love brings, then love's not everything
