The Price Of Dreaming

I've been told that I'm no good
Told to abandon what means the most to me
I'm burdened by the sacrifice
At an age when the world says
I should be settled down

Too far to see (too far to see)
Can't make out all the details
No chance to breathe (no chance to breathe)
Can't find the words to say goodbye

The only thing I'm allowed to keep
Is the hope that they'll forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming

(Chase away) chase away your hesitations
(Take the reins) take the reins and hold on for dear life
All the times I could've given up
All the pain that's built me up

Guiding me to what I need (what I need)
Putting me on this path to live my dreams

The only thing I'm allowed to keep (to keep)
Is the hope that they'll forgive me for leaving
A lonely life's the price of dreaming

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Forgive me for leaving
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
A lonely life's the price of dreaming

I'm thinking of all the times that I've wanted to quit
And all the moments
That I struggled but pushed through it

I'm chasing a pipe dream
In hopes I'll make it on my own
It pains me
Detaching from the world I know

This haunting reminds me
Of the things I'll miss out while I'm gone
It's exhausting
I'm searching for where I belong

The only thing I'm allowed to keep (to keep)
Is the hope that they'll forgive me (forgive me)
For leaving (for leaving)

A lonely life's the price of dreaming
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Forgive me for leaving
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
A lonely life's the price of dreaming

(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
