I dreamed a dream where we were together.
I dreamed a dream where your love for me lasted forever.

I dreamed a dream where our lives were perfect
I dreamed a dream where mean words had no affect.

That's why I cried when I woke up and none of that has come to pass.
If my future was like my dreams, I could relax all day and lay in the grass.

I sit here oh so tired, waiting for you,
When will you come? Will I see your face?
I know you will come, but what if you don't? what will I do?
Will you impress me with your stunning grace?

I've been sitting here too too long.
Did you have something come up at home?
I hope soon enough you'll come along.
Maybe I should just continue to roam.

Deep inside I thought you might not come.
I knew it was just too good to be true.
How could I be oh so so dumb!
Since you didn't show up, I know how you must feel. Just know, I hate you too.

We started as friends you and I,
But then you wrapped your hand around mine.
Why did you do that why?
I began to take this as some sort of sign.

You wanted to speed things up,
no longer staying "just" friends.
I began to take a look at you, a look close-up.
So this is where our friendship ends?

I sit and watch as our friendship turns into something else.
Something so beautiful everyone turns green with envy.
I accept this new beginning, knowing I could find no one more special anywhere else.
All I want to do now is offer you the best of me and what I can be.

You stare at me with eyes wide open and filled with wonder.
I stare back gazing into eyes that reflect my own.
"Now promise me this" I say, "never tear our new love asunder."
"I would never do that" you say, "especially to a love so newly grown."

I never looked at you the same way again,
you went from a dear friend, to something much better.
You promised to never let me ever again feel pain.
Our love feels like it was ripped write out of a love letter.

Our first date was a blast, we even danced in the rain like your favorite movie scene.
I promise you that our love will never ever end.
Nobody could harm what we have, no one is that mean.
And so our friendship stopped which is something I would now recommend.

I was such a fool to fall for your love.
I should never have let myself succumb to your wiles.
Your love is nothing more than physical.
There's nowhere inside of you that loves me for me.

Although I know all this, I still cannot leave.
It's almost like you have me on an invisible leash.
You make me believe you love me, when you truly don't.
When I decide to leave, you love me like never before.
Again, I fall for your love...I'm such a fool.

When I reassure you I will not leave,
You go back to being the old you.
You control my life, but make it feel normal.
You still try to fool me with your hollow love.

Now it's too late to leave, and too late for you to treat me right.
It would be best if I would just leave, but why can't I?
I was such a fool to fall for your love,
but an even bigger one for not leaving when I could.
