Just a Dream

I feel like I don't have a good enough
Reason to be sad
We barely even started, it was
Mostly in my head
You were my umbrella
When the storm hit, you didn't know it
I'll never get to tell you why I
Started smiling again
But I'm glad to see you happy in the end

I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream
I say it to let go, it never helps me though
I keep on telling myself it never would have worked
I saw you next to me, but now a dream is all you'll ever be
(I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream)

Life was what it was
Till it wasn't anymore
I'll give myself this moment then I'll
Keep on pushing forward
Your face was lighting my path
When I couldn't see, when I couldn't breathe
And I know it'll be okay
But today is a bittersweet day

I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream
I say it to let go, it never helps me though
I keep on telling myself it never would have worked
I saw you next to me, but now a dream is all you'll ever be

If I had tried a little harder
Would the ending be the same?
I didn't know how much I wanted this
Until it was too late
How did this tiny piece of hope
Grow into a flame
Now in a heartbeat you've become
Just another name

I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream
I say it to let go
It was just, it was just a dream
I keep on telling myself it never would have worked
I saw you next to me, but now a dream is all I see
I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream
I say it to let go, it never helps me though
I keep on telling myself it never would have worked
I saw you next to me, but now a dream is all you'll ever be
I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream
I keep on telling myself that it was just a dream
