A Dream Has Died Tonight

 A Dream Has Died Tonight

I went against everyone’s advice 

And fell in love

Specifically with you 

I didn’t care if they knew better 

I just want it 

And only if with you 

As much as I didn’t want to say it

I might deny it later still

The joy I’ve been manifesting 

Won’t happen with you 

No matter how much i will it

There’s no proper goodbye here

No story book redemption

I have to cut it off 

One day I hope you admit 

You know why a dream has died tonight 

I ignored everyone and my gut

Never stopping 

Believing in you but 

You never could prove them wrong could you 

So defiant 

Despite what you told me 

I cry putting it in black and white now 

I could break saying it out loud 

My love for you still fooling me

That you still want this 

A lie I’ll die denying why

There’s no proper goodbye here

No story book redemption

I have to cut it off 

One day I hope you admit 

You know why a dream has died tonight 

Governments and God promoting men

Couldn’t stop me from trying still

Yet you fail to admit to me

Your wreckless and careless tongue 

Is what sealed it up for me and why 

There’s no proper goodbye here

No story book redemption

I have to cut it off 

One day I hope you admit 

You know why a dream has died tonight 

You’ll be bitter you’ll lash out 

Shifting focus from your pain

I wish I could hold you one last time 

And say I’m sorry but I can’t 

So say what you want 

And do what you will

You know why a dream has died tonight
