Dreams Never Come True

Dreams Never Come True

Dreams Never Come True

Copyright © 2014 by The Poetry Man (Jason Wallace)

I used to think it was us.

I used to think it was you.

But now all I can think

Is dreams never come true.

Was it me, Baby?

Was it no use?

Is there a reason

Dreams never come true?

I can't stand wishin

On stars that deceive.

I can't be with you

When you can't believe.

I don't know what happened

To what we thought we knew...

But now it makes sense

Since dreams never come true.

My whole life has been wasted.

I've never been much.

I've come close to dreams that faded

And then lost every bit of trust

Because someone else didn't

Know what they had

And I could never be happy

When I only made them sad...

But though you don't believe me, Honey...

There's one promise

I can make to you...

No matter what else happens...

Dreams never come true.

If one day you want me

Like I wanted you,

I won't be waitin

Cuz dreams never come true.

The dream you made me believe in

Is now the nightmare I knew

Would come around some day

Cuz dreams never come true.

I'm tired of holdin

On to anyone new

Because all of the old

Were dreams that never came true.

I don't want nothin

Or someone, too.

The dream that died lately

Is the dream I call you.

And the dream I wanted

Will never come true.

My whole life has been wasted.

I've never been much.

I've come close to dreams that faded

And then lost every bit of trust

Because someone else didn't

Know what they had

And I could never be happy

When I only made them sad...

But though you don't believe me, Honey...

There's one promise

I can make to you...

No matter what else happens...

Dreams never come true.

So if you find somebody

Somebody new...

Know he's no better

Than what I gave to you...

But I have nothin I can give

Cuz you took it all

And made me want somethin

Not worth wearin down my wall.

So I'll build it back up

And let no one through

Since you proved once again

That dreams never come true.

My whole life has been wasted.

I've never been much.

I've come close to dreams that faded

And then lost every bit of trust

Because someone else didn't

Know what they had

And I could never be happy

When I only made them sad...

But though you don't believe me, Honey...

There's one promise

I can make to you...

No matter what else happens...

Dreams never come true.

I spent years

Gettin it all wrong,

Wishin and waitin

For somethin good to come along

And every time I feel it

It leaves me blue

Because everything that seems perfect

Is another dream that won't come true.
