A Dream Away (Part Two)
I’m getting married in a week
You were gone a year
I do not dare to speak
So I just stand and stare
My heart is slowly breaking
As I look around
This is my awakening
As I look to the ground
How can this be
How can it be true
Your destiny was me
My destiny was you
I congratulate you
And see that look upon your face
I know this talk is through
And I walk off to find a quiet place
Somewhere to cry
Somewhere to scream
Somewhere to fly
Out of this dream
I walk away
Trying to escape
I wake into a day
And my heart continues to break
A dream away
A life of fantasy
To live a day
With you beside me
Just once I’d like to live
Outside of my dream
To be able to say I’ve lived
And make it what it seems
