Oh what I'd give...

to live in my dreams

where everything's perfect

and just as it seems


There are no hidden meanings

or broken hearts

nothing left unanswered

straight forward from the start


but...


Here in reality

I can barely breathe

my heart has stopped beating

and I no longer believe


There is no hope

no cure for this cause

Just a heartbroken misfit

holding onto love that once was


Oh what I'd give...

to live in my dreams

where everything's perfect

and just as it seems


If I could sleep forever

In my dreams I'd be a queen

In a castle on a hillside

covered in flowers amongst green


I'd have the King I’d always dreamt of

His love I'd never question

with a smile there would be no doubt

I am the object of his affection


yet...


Forever is impossible

Reality has it's hold

I am alive and wide awake

fearing the untold


I share a world with others

some surviving just fine

Those who can't handle it

simply give up and resign


I've written my resignation

and several times thrown it away

wasted sheets of apologies

never knowing how to explain


Oh what I'd give...

to live in my dreams

where everything's perfect

and just as it seems
