After you left, I thought
life couldn't go on
It was so hard to start over
We'd been together so long

I tried to get you back
I pleaded
I begged
You were all I needed

I couldn't believe it was over
I prayed to God every night
I was sure He would help
I also wished on every star in sight

But nothing ever worked
none of my wishes came true
just when I thought I would never love again
I found someone new

We lead very different lives
since you left me long ago
Although I am proud of the person I've become
I see now have nothing to show

With the life you have made for yourself
and the person you have turned into
I've learned to be careful what you wish for
for now, I'm grateful, my wish never came true.
