how could this be after all you promised me
my everything and I let you in so
don't expect me to turn my cheek again
last time you broke the skin

nothing ever works out right so why would it now
my hopes get up so high they fall and shatter
and shatter with what's left of confidence

so here I am
locked away in a perfect dream
take a look around I have everything
and the more I stare
the more I feel so empty
cause soon I'll wake up with nothing
its just a dream
I can't bring any of it back with me
(go back to sleep)

cut out my eyes before they tell my mind
what they just saw
I'd rather be naive
so lets play pretend and I'll believe in anything

so here I am
locked away in a perfect dream
I take a look around I see I have everything
and the more I stare
the more I feel so empty
cause soon I'll wake up with nothing
I swear this time I will not be fooled
if it is too good it is not true
you broke the branch
and your falling down
but no one's waiting for you on the ground
to break your fall
