I used to laugh aloud When you were around Now you're far away You can't even hear me
And every little word You said to me As I fell asleep Now they're fading whispers I can't remember
I believed we were in this together Giving everything for a chance at forever
And I'm a dreamer Who shoulda known better And I thought you had a dream here too Oh, and I'm a dreamer Who shoulda known better Cause now I have to live I have to live in this dream without you
With every other word You made me yours With every wish you breathed And every promise
Did you read my mind Tell me every line That I longed to hear You were so convincing But you left me empty
I remember when we were both so naive And now you're telling me that you never believed
Oh, and I'm a dreamer Who shoulda known better And I thought you had a dream here too Oh, and I'm a dreamer Who shoulda known better Cause now I have to live I have to live in this dream without you
backvocals: (i'm just a dreamer, dreamer i shoulda known better, better)
When did it all become too much Couldn't you fight a little harder for us You traded dreams for reality And promises you couldn't keep That nothing was the way it seemed
