The Dream Is Over
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She walked into the room.
Suddenly i felt fat.
It only took her one look
To see where I was at.
It don't hurt me anymore.
Don't 'cha know I'm just a ghost?
I died a long time ago.
I just wanted a dose of love.
But its over
The dream is over,
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone.
Maybe if I had stayed just a little bit longer...
But when she smiled at me I just had to run and hide.
She's so attractive I can't help but look at her.
She appears like a vision.
When she exits it's a nightmare.
But it's over.
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home,
Sitting by myself and all alone.
I could try to find another
but I really had my heart set on you
Don't tell me the dream is over
I live in a dream.
I thought there was something there.
I really thought that you cared.
But I guess that you simply changed yr mind..
But it's over.
The dream is over
And now I walk the lonely road back home
Sitting by myself and all alone.
