What is this song?

[Kinoko]

It's another one of those threads!

A few months ago when I was still in Japan, I was in some shop and a really good song came on. It was in English, a male singer, mostly guitar-ey. The lyrics in the chorus went something like, "Love is never as good as you think it's gonna be". Perhaps not exactly, but more or less that.

I'm afraid I don't have much else to go by. I've tried googling various things but I can't find a trace of this song, and noone seems to have heard of it.

Any ideas?
