Dream Come True


I dreamed

You and I

Weren't on the same side

Like I believed

I had a dream

You left me

You burned the bridge

Connecting us

And you took that cigarette

And lit us up

Turned my love

And burned it to the ground

I woke up

Crying without a sound

 

I cried so hard

You had never felt so close

And yet so far

Never before

Have I felt

Like you were a locked door

Always open

Always there

You turned your back on me

And now

I can't see

Through this smoke and fire

And I reach for you

I wander all night long

I look and look

And come out empty handed

Alone

Growing cold

 

You said

I believed it

You went

And I followed

I believed in you that much

You built me up

Built the trust

Until it felt unbreakable

You really felt

Like a dream to me

To good

To ever be true

But I believed in you

And now

As the smoke and dust clears

I know it was never as it seemed

But while it lasted

While I believed

It was the best damn nightmare

I mistakened

For a dream come true
