We Were In Love
Before I left I turned and told her
I didn't care anymore, this was just a blurr
All she did was take me as I was
But I guess that just wasn't enough
So I walked into the great unknown
This forgotten place, this forbidden zone
I flew all day and dreamed all night
Everyday I was numb, it was alright
I'd dream of the past, but never the upcoming
My head never thought and was always humming
This lala land was made just for me
Even though I did alright, I was never free
One day the past really felt like the past
And I realized my chance had passed
I gave up my love for this life of illusion?
Gave her up for delusion and confusion?
My dreams turned cold and my days turned dark
I had lost a piece of my puzzle, my life's spark
I spiraled down, down into the deep
All I wanted was that eternal sleep
I learned, however, that life is a trip
Sometimes it's good, and sometimes it dips
My dip lasted forever, or so it seemed
All I wanted to do was live in the past, so I dreamed
I dreamed of days with my baby, my baby and me
Back when I was happy and truly free
I messed it all up, but all I could do was ramble on
I waited for my sunrise, my soothing dawn
It came too late for me to realize
That I'd never gaze into my baby's eyes
I'd never hear her laugh, or hear her cry
I don't know why, but I said goodbye
I'd never see her smile or feel her heart beat
All I'd see were her shadows on every single street
My heart was broken but I was to blame
I finally realized it'd never be the same
I'm back on top, but I still think about her
I still think about her love, and what we were
I know it's long gone, and now I'm just a name
But baby, I loved you, and I know I'm to blame
