Dreams, Memories, and You

I see people looking at me
Watching me all of the time
Trying to get a closer look
Of what goes on in this evil mind
But if you look in these eyes
You’ll see a girl with a knife
Who’s sick and tired of life
She’s too tired to fight
So she just takes it
She just takes all of the pain
There’s no one to blame
So she blames herself for the shame

So go on and look
Go on, take a second glance
Maybe then you’ll realize
That this life has no second chance
We make mistakes
And we live with the consequence
But it’s too obvious for me
There’s just no suspense
I know what comes next
I memorized the next scene
I know every line
I know what every word means

I see the picture
It’s a drawing of you and me
We’re so close
That’s how I wish we could be
But we’ve faded away, grown apart, gone astray
And through the years, somehow, someway
We were separated, pushed apart from one another
And lately these days
We have too much hate for each other
But you can’t move on
You won’t let go

And everyday I seem to hate you even more
So take your stand
Go on, take a bow, take the lead
Take a hammer to these walls that hold you and me,
Together, forever, hell I don’t know what that means
I heard about it, once or twice in my dreams
But dreams aren’t real, that’s just how it seems
For the moment you own it
But then you wake up, you’ve blown it
It’s over, it’s done with
It’s all in the past
And now we look forward trying not to look back
But it haunts you, it won’t let you forget

It won’t let me forget
The memories of you and all we’ve been through
A dream has finally come true
My dream was you
Having you with me all the time
To comfort me, to hold me close and keep me smiling
But there were other parts
Parts about you crying, crying cause I was leaving
Your hand was bleeding, your tears were falling
I wanted so bad to help you but I couldn’t
You didn’t want me to
You were mad, I was sad and then the dream was through

I came to, I woke up, it was another day
There were a lot of crazy things I needed to say
But you walked away
You just kept walking and I was begging you to slow down
But you wouldn’t turn around, you didn’t care
And my stare eventually faded into another dream
About a girl who lived her life trapped in a memory
Until she finally broke free
And the one thing you’ll never know
Is that girl, she was me…
