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
