I don’t need you in reality
It was never as it seemed
I let go knowing
I would see you in my dreams

When I dream I can’t control
What you say or how I feel
All I know is when I’m dreaming
Nothing can be real

You aren’t the same but I know it’s you
My imagination makes it true
It reminds me when we first began
Laughing, smiling, holding hands

Even though it's over and
I'm tearing at the seams,
I let go knowing
I would see you in my dreams

She's beautiful and elegant, with composure so well
She keeps parts of her hidden
I’m curious, can’t you tell?
I want to learn about her wounds, her history and fears
But when I come around she starts to disappear

He’s bright and prevailing; I can’t help but want to look
His energy goes on for days
As I continue to a new phase
I see him high, I see him low
But when he rises, it’s my time to go

I got too attached
And ran away with the idea of you

I shouldn’t have given you a thought

When I lie in my bed
I think of what you’ve said

I shouldn’t have given you a thought

When my daydreams take over
And I think of being with you

I shouldn’t have given you a thought

But I still do

How strange to become
A stranger again,
After years of laughter
And tears

Your name has become a
Meaningless word
Just like how it began

Your face is now a part of the crowd
And laughs are distant memories

We’re just a story on the shelf,
How strange to have no knowing
