Lyrics

I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been dreaming (on my own)

I am tired of holding you too tight
For fear that you’ll just slip out in the night
But I would rather watch you walk away
Than be wounded by your cold embrace

You kissed my lips
And changed your mind
But the sky’s still blue
And the sun still shines
So it’s alright to say goodbye
Just make it matter

What was to be could have never been
But if a heart can turn can it turn again?
What was to be could have never been
But if a heart can turn can it turn again?

Weren’t you tired of holding up the mask
Cheating on the present with the past
But love’s not lost even when it’s gone
It’s only moving upwards, aimless, on

You kissed my lips
And changed your mind
But the sky’s still blue
And the sun still shines
So it’s alright to say goodbye
Just make it matter

What was to be could have never been
But if a heart can turn can it turn again?
What was to be could have never been
But if a heart can turn can it turn again?

I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been dreaming (on my own)
