Leaving Me to Dream

It's raining as I fall asleep.
Nothing is of what it seems,
And all I can do is dream.

I pull the blanket tighter
As I try to push away the thought of her,
But in moments a happy heart turned heavy,
And I dream of unpleasant things.

For fear of love
You hide and become
Someone you hate.
But you can't let go,
Because you know, if you do
You'll never be the same.

And it's my emotion
That I'm afraid to show
And it's your eye line
That I'm too scared to meet.

Silently, I pray I don't see you with him,
But as I walk around the corner
You're always there,
He's always there.

For fear of love
You hide and become
Someone you hate.
But you can't let go,
Because you know, if you do
You'll never be the same.

I can't be around you anymore,
But in this crowded place,
You're the only one I can see.

And possibly, just maybe
For once, I could be
The one you say you love.
And just once,
I'd like to say,
"Goodnight, I love you."
