This Fragile Dream
I once dreamed of being loved
when i could give love and have in return
but this fragile thing is just a dream
and so i let it burn
I once dreamed that i was someone
i had a name and lived in a better place
but this fantasy was fragile still
and so i had to show my real face
Behind the mask I clung to a dream
a dream that faded in fire and pain
my fragile dream is lying broken on the floor
and never again will i ever be the same
No more smiles and naive bliss
tragedy of reality had given me its loveless kiss
no longer hiding in a dream of friends and family care
this fragile thing i once had dreamed
has become the inescapable haunting of a never-ending nightmare
