Having a dream is like having money
More times than not your going to have to exchange it for something else

Love is
As love was
Love will only ever be
As it only ever has been
And to be honest
I think that's pretty sad

Sorry
That I loved you too much.
I must have been such a bore.
I must have been too clingy.
I'm sure you hated the way
I said that I loved you
with too much desperation
In my eyes
The way I kissed you
must have annoyed you so much.
My lips were always chapped.
I bite them so often.
It must have irritated you when I hugged you.
I must have held on too tight,
like I didn't want to lose you to the wind.
I didn't.
And I-
nevermind.
I'm so sorry.

If I was a penny coin
Laying there,
My copper dull
And my edges chipped,
Would come and pick me up?

People have walked past me.
Some pick me up then throw me back down once they realise
I was of less worth than they thought.
I've been shoved in the dirt.
I have watched rain pool around my edges
I've been frozen over stuck way under snow.
But would you pick me up and place me deep inside your pocket?

You don't even to use me.
Can you just keep me there,
where it's warm?

There used to be a bottle on the wall.
It was very green.
I'm sure it was the loneliest green bottle
that I had ever seen
It used to sit on the wall
all day and all night
And every day, when I looked out of the window,
it was always in my line of sight
Then one day, a cat came along.
Something was going to happen; I could tell
The cat then accidentally nudged it
and off the wall, it fell
When it had fallen off the wall
it had dropped with a very loud sound.
There were all these little pieces of the green bottle
all over the ground
Then the cat yelped
and I knew it had gotten hurt
I could quite obviously see its paws were caked in
blood and dirt
The bottle wasn't harmful in the beginning
it did not look the slightest bit treacherous
but after a nudge in the wrong direction
it became very dangerous
Now I look back at you smiling
next to me on the big armchair
Your fingers running through your soft locks of hair.
You remind me a lot
of that green bottle.
In the beginning, you were harmless
you were all sorts of fun.
Now you hurt me.
Could you tell me why
as I don't quite know what I've done

Why is it that
Within the silence, I can hear
ten thousand screaming voices
but in the roar of the crowd
I can barely hear a word?

Why is it that
When I close my eyes, I can see
a world outside of here
but when I open them again
I see nothing that I haven't already seen before?

Isn't nighttime the world with it's eyes closed?
Everything looks better.
The lights are luminous and bright.
The streets are almost empty. Nothing is as it seems.
A beautiful lie.

And when daytime comes, eyes are open.
The lights are turned off.
The show is finished.
Everybody gets up from their seats
and heads back to reality.
The ugly truth.
