Not Just a Dream

Here I lie awake Afraid of sleep For when I close my eyes It's her I'll see. I should have left that night I could have saved her life I thought it was just a dream And now she's gone. I did see the vision Fire burning the mansion I did cry for help But it was too late. When dawn finally broke I set to go warn her Always put off all light But I was too late. The papers had the news It wasn't just a dream Her home was truly burnt And her along with it. I should have left that night I could have saved her life I thought it was just a dream And now she is gone. My face hurts from tears My heart ache with fears I feel nothing but guilt I wish this too was a dream. I see her when I close my eyes The flesh torn from her Her lips forms my name She wanted me to help. I should have left that night I could have saved her life I thought it was just a dream And now she's gone. Here I lie awake Afraid of sleep Afraid of dreams Knowing I'll see her if I do.
