You are always saying the most romantic things
And I'm always sitting there listening to you
And they sound wonderful they really do
I have just lost faith in all things soft and beautiful

Sometimes your words keep me awake
Leave me thinking of all that is yet to come
And if such fanciful things can really be
You leave me sleepless

And sometimes I dare to dream
I'll think of your words and wonder if my future can be that bright
If love isn't lost
And if the word can be beautiful

You leave me dreaming about everything
Weddings that will never come
Families I will never have
Love that will not last
Yet you give me hope against it all
Because just maybe you're right

Half a decade ago I would have believed you wholeheartedly
Back when I was still a girl
Before reality struck
And my heart died in one of countless suicides

And the world is cold
But you make it sound beautiful
You make me dream of something more
You give me hope
You have no idea what your words do to me.
