I know that all in love is bittersweet
What did you expect, a bed full of roses
to rest your head ?
I see the dissapointment in your eyes,
you're trying to forget
whatever it is that make you look so sad

I can't be your guiding star all through the night
but I could hold you in my arms and treat you right
like a lover or a friend
Whatever's right depends on space & time

You got the wildest dreams & fantasies
of what could have been
if only he had given in to your pleas
Do you know that eventually
revenge will break your heart ?

I can't be your guiding star all through the night
but I could hold you in my arms and treat you right
like a lover or a friend
As log as you understand
whatever's right depends
on space & time

Nothing becomes what you want it to be
unless you know a thing or 2, maybe 3
And even then there's not a chance in the world
you'll get out of here without being hurt
So waste your time on country roads
forget what the city believes
Wel everyone this and everyone that
but finally nobody's really free
- but you should know that dreams are like eggshells, so fragile -

Like a lover or a friend
As long as you understand
whatever's right depends
on space and time,
it could well be the best year of your life
