How can something
I've refused to sing
Denied and sworn was fiction
Seem suddenly real to me
How can someone
Make me feel so undone
From my false reality
Despite everything I've done
How can it be
That the nighttime sings
When I'm alone inside my head
When will I finally see
It was you all along
Standing in front of me
It was you all along
The girl inside my dreams
How could I be so blind
To have wasted my time
Trying to forget these things
Cause all I've ever needed
Is the girl listening to this ballad
How could I
Have thought so highly
Been so naive
To think this wouldn't happen in time
How would I know
That you had stolen
My heart long before
And left, yea you left my love to grow
It was you all along
Standing in front of me
It was you all along
The girl inside my dreams
How could I be so blind
To have wasted my time
Trying to forget these things
Cause all I've ever needed
Is the girl listening to this ballad
You're the faceless girl
Who has haunted my world
My dreams came alive
Shining like your golden curls
You're the one I need
I need only succeed
In your eyes
Sing your ballad with me
It was you all along
Standing in front of me
It was you all along
The girl inside my dreams
How could I be so blind
To have wasted my time
Trying to forget these things
Cause all I've ever needed
Is the girl listening to this ballad
You're free and wild
Never gone out of style
Everytime I see you
I'm left standing beguiled
There is something I can't explain
A girl inside you, who can't be tamed
The girl I love, the girl I adore
You have the freedom engrained
I cannot break away
But I can face the day
But when the night comes
I don't know what to say
How am I supposed to be
What they need me to be
To be strong and brave
When I spent it all on you
I will not forget
Yet I do not regret
These memories I've kept
But I do regret the things I've left unsaid
It was you all along
Standing in front of me
It was you all along
The girl inside my dreams
How could I be so blind
To have wasted my time
Trying to forget these things
Cause all I've ever needed
Is the girl listening to this ballad
Listening to her ballad
