"Wishful Thinking" lyrics

I was sure we had what it takes
To make it through the ups and downs
Through the good love and heartbreak
What a fool I'd be to think that now

But I still dream of you, babe
Yeah, I still think about
If right now would be too late
For us to work it out

That's what I get for wishful thinking
But if thinking gets the teardrops flowing
I'll dry my eyes with the towel you're throwing
That's what I get for wishful thinking
Maybe I should've known better
Nothing good ever lasts forever
That's what I get for wishful thinking

Well, I'm a wreck now, for Heaven's sake
That's a side effect of loving you
It's a nightmare I can't escape
And some dreams just don't come true

That's what I get for wishful thinking
But if thinking gets the teardrops flowing
I'll dry my eyes with the towel you're throwing
That's what I get for wishful thinking
Maybe I should've known better
Nothing good ever lasts forever
That's what I get for wishful thinking

If you ever have second thoughts
Like you're wanting to start again
Just know that I'm a lost cause
I'm still living like it didn't end

That's what I get for wishful thinking
But if thinking gets the teardrops flowing
I'll dry my eyes with the towel you're throwing
That's what I get for wishful thinking
Maybe I should've known better
Nothing good ever lasts forever
That's what I get for wishful thinking
That's what I get for wishful thinking
