I am giving up one of my dreams today I found out I can't always get my way And sometimes a dream isn't worth what you pay So I'm giving up one of my dreams today When we are children we look to the sky We want everything, I'm afraid to ask why
And I saw the sparkling fish in the sea I dreamed I would find one to swim next to me And this is called love and it's worth every reason Love is the cool and the warmth in each season But how does one love and what does one do When the the dream that you have doesn't want to pick you But oh oh don't cry for me
It's just one dream less on my shoulder And oh oh dad says giving up dreams is just a sign I'm getting older He was a stoner and I'm like a light And when he would blaze I'd sing songs by his side But my dream takes two strong hearts that will fight And he doesn't dream, he just sleeps at night And oh oh don't cry for me
It's just one dream less on my shoulder And oh oh dad says giving up dreams, is just a sign I'm getting older Oh they say too much smoking will change your taste Maybe that's why he's kissing another girl's face But I never dreamed of second place So I'd rather just quit than continue to race And oh oh don't cry for me
It's just one dream less on my shoulder And oh oh dad says giving up dreams is just a sign I'm getting older And oh oh oh I am singing on stage But it doesn't mean I know much better
Oh oh oh oh You are probably like me
Some days dreaming and some days a quitter I am giving up one of my dreams today After I held him and begged him to stay And after my dream had drown out to a whisper After I've burnt all the photo booth pictures
And after I erased our names from the sky Stopped wondering how and asking why Oh I wish I had words to encourage inspire But the truth is I'm wrecked and I'm sad and I'm tired I'm a loser in love, an abandoner of dreams And today I gave up the one for him, and me
