You were my dream

​(Verse 1)
Five years of shadows, five years of rain
I was the anchor, you were the chain
I poured the wine, but you never drank
Watching our ship as it silently sank
You walked through the rooms like a ghost in the hall
Building your silence, a brick in the wall.

​(Chorus)
You were my dream, but I was awake
Giving you pieces you didn’t take
You were my dream, a beautiful lie
I’m drawing the line, so this is goodbye.

​(Verse 2)
I spoke in colors, you saw in gray
I waited for words that you’d never say
You locked your heart in a box made of glass
Watching the seasons and memories pass
I loved a man who wasn’t quite there
Whispering secrets to cold, empty air.

​(Bridge)
Half a decade is a long time to wait
To realize love isn’t something you fake
I’m building a fence, I’m locking the gate
It’s not about anger, it’s just getting late.

​(Chorus)
You were my dream, but I was awake
Giving you pieces you didn’t take
You were my dream, a beautiful lie
I’m drawing the line, so this is goodbye.

​(Outro)
Five years of dreaming…
Now I am wide awake.
I’m letting you go.
