Lyrics.

      I had a dream

      I got everything I wanted.

Not what you’d think

      and if I’m bein’ honest –

it might’ve been a nightmare

to anyone who might care.

Thought I could fly

      so I hid on the Golden, mm.

Nobody cried,

      nobody even noticed.

I saw them standing right there,

kinda thought they might care…

I had a dream –

      I got everything I wanted.

But when… I wake up, I     see

you with me.

And you say –

as long as I’m here

      no one can hurt you.

Don’t wanna lie here

      but you can learn to.

If I could change

the way that you see yourself,

you wouldn’t wonder why you hear,

      “they don’t deserve you.”

I tried to scream

      but my head was underwater.

They called me weak

      like I’m not just somebody’s daughter.

Coulda been a nightmare

but it felt like they were right there.

And it feels like yesterday was a year ago

but I don’t wanna let anybody know.

Cuz everybody wants somethin’ from me now

and I don’t wanna let ’em down.

I had a dream –

      I got everything I wanted.

But when… I wake up, I     see

you with me.

And you say –

as long as I’m here

      no one can hurt you.

Don’t wanna lie here

      but you can learn to.

If I could change

the way that you see yourself,

you wouldn’t wonder why you hear,

      “they don’t deserve you.”

If.. I.. knew it all then

would I do it again,

would I do it again?

If.. they.. knew what they said

would go straight to my head,

what would they say instead?

If.. I.. knew it all then

would I do it again,

would I do it again?

If.. they.. knew what they said

would go straight to my head,

what would they say instead?
