don't you leave me with those words
you have the power to change me
just like he did.
but he chose not to and so are you

and now you're left with the burden
of a love never held, a love never lost

believe me when i say you aren't my only one
you're THE only one.
can i bring you home to father?
he'll tell me, "girl, you need to stop living in the dreams of others."

i'll tell you, "boy, if this is a dream, don't ever wake me up."
what did she do to you? why are you this way?
i ask because i can offer a life she can't.
i can give you a heart unbreakable.

i can do the things she won't.
and i'll trust you if you trust me.
just tell me what you want.
tell me you dream of me when you fall asleep.
tell me that when you shut your eyes,
you see my face and hear my name.

no one's charmed me like you, king.
just don't remind me of why i hate your type.

i fall for no one but the bottle
and when i do he sings your name
you're on my mind
don't leave me behind

i never had you, i never will
but it's nice to dream
and wish upon a star
to erase your scars

(i'll kiss your wounds
and trace your pain
with my tongue)

i want to taste your soul
salty , bittersweet
the ocean forged you
and i'm drowning in it

you, son of a mermaid
don't let me die
don't make me cry
but don't you lie.

if you want nothing, let me know
if you want something, tell me now
because i'm tired of ******* things up before they start.

but this is assuming you
wrote those words for me
if not...disregard this
and keep me dreaming.
