Reality's Dream
All your words make me fall apart
at each and every seam
Tell me, darling
Is this reality or just a dream?
Your eyes bleed right through me
as if this barricade was made of jello
Tell me, is this what it feels like to be happy
Love sick and floating on air
There are times I want to make it stop
it seems so wrong, to feel this way
When all I felt for so long
was anger and disdain
I was despondent and frightened
to let anyone inside
for fear that you would betray me
and bruise me on the outside
They tell me I've grown depressed
I've made myself weary
but oddly enough
today is the least day I've felt dreary
I can't place it into words
I cannot begin to explain
so metaphorically speaking
You're the only light in the rain
I know that without you
I could survive
But I don't even want to
You make me feel most alive
I'm not sappy and I hardly ever cry
For you, I'd give up my hard ways
I used to never care, but for you; I'll try
no matter which way the wind sways
I pace my room day in and day out
Just for the single moment
when you tell me what you're about
When you tell me you love me
You never have to put a ring on my finger
I never liked diamonds anyway
Just hold me forever
And we'll call it a day
