On My Own

All you'll ever be is a dream
Or a pretty scene
A memory or a page in a magazine
And I don't really need your embrace
Or your pretty face
Or your arms
To protect me from harm
All I need is some space
Let me breathe
The more I think about love
The more I hate
And every time I start to think
This might be it
That's when you take the stick
And stir the shit

Do you even realize
That you make a mess
Driving everybody mad in the process
Holding on to something that never was
And I'm getting quite fond
Of the taste of blood
For all the time that I've stopped and
Bit my tongue
I held my breath
And I've waited here long enough
It's time to vent
Drop the veil
And open up

All you'll ever be is a dream
And nothing's ever as it seems
So please just leave me here on my own
Please just give up
And go home

And what better time than now
To write down just how
You make me feel
And I regret it when it all becomes real
So why does none of this
Seem to make any sense
Our love seems to be
Nothing but consequence
And outcomes that are never good
Misunderstood and mistakenly took
Do you even realize
You cut me down to size
Do you stop and think and rationalize
Everybody knows
You gotta let things go sometimes

All you'll ever be is a dream
And nothing's ever as it seems
So please just leave me here on my own
Please just give up
And go home

All you'll ever be is a dream
And nothing's ever as it seems

All you'll ever be is a dream
Or a pretty scene
A memory or a page in a magazine

All you'll ever be is a dream
And nothing's ever as it seems
So please just leave me here on my own
Please just give up
And go home
