In a dream, a perfect illusion
living the life you've always wanted
In reality, there's so much confusion,
Leading you farther from where you had started

Time is taking its tolls
and you're still stuck in the beginning
Ceasing to move, ceasing to live
You still hold on, hoping they'll give
Everything you once wanted,
but it's leading you farther from where you had started.

As time moves on more and more
You start to wish love hadn't left you sore
Sore for life, and sore for love
You try to forgive, but it's so hard

You want to move on, but your heart's in shards
While they lie on the floor,
you sit there crying more and more

Yet, you still hold on, and think "just one last chance"
hoping and praying that this time, it won't give.

No,
Hope that it won't bow, it won't fray,
If only it lasts just one more day
Just to hold him one more night,
Just so you can get that ultimate high

Though, he seems to be leading you farther away
from everything that was there to stay;

From everything that you wanted

Leading you farther from where you had started
