Dreamers

Third floor on the West Side, me and you

I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed

Sometimes I wonder when you sleep

Are you ever dreaming of me?

I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost

You know, I didn't want to have to haunt you.

As I paced back and forth all this time

Yeah, I want you.

I notice everything you do and don't do.

I remember it all too well

You put up walls and paint them all a shade of gray

Use up my best colors for your portait

Paint me a blue sky

Then go back and turn it to rain

Why'd you have to go and lock me out when I let you in

When I loved you so?

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

So I start a fight, cause I need to feel something

Took this dagger in me and removed it

Who could ever leave me darling?

So casually cruel in the name of being honest

Crossing out the good years

Echoes of your footsteps on the stairs

There in my rear view mirror disappearing now

People like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.

I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

I know my love should be celebrated.

It was rare. I was there.

Counting all the scars you made

I was a dreamer before you went and let me down

I remember it all too well.
