I had a dream
I got everything I wanted.
Not what you’d think
and if I’m being 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.

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?
