Death of a Dream

It's all over but the crying
tears fall down like rain
washing away the dream of forever
nothing now left but pain

Hollow promises of what was
a thought and what could be
fantasy is never a happy place
reflections for all to see

My own eyes deceive me
hearing what I want to hear
heartbreak fills the table now
tomorrow is now unclear

Love is suppose to be a wonderful thing
hoping to fill an empty life
but it's just been a terrible nightmare
racked by sorrow and strife

I guess this is goodbye my love
for you will always be
cradled hear in my broken heart
for all the world to see
