The Problem With Dreams

You've told me I love you a thousand times You told me you loved me more Told me about the life you want with me Looked at me like I was your world And I knew that everything you said was true I knew I'd always have you But all that changes in a moment When I can no longer see the light in your eyes Your words have no meaning, Your gaze holds only distance And I freeze like a trapped animal As the fear spreads like frost And suddenly I know, like I always knew I was always meant to lose you I'm half-living in a dream or a nightmare But the problem with dreams Is that you never know what's real Until you wake up
