Author’s Note: I wrote these song lyrics in 2015 about a long-term crush I’d had that I wanted to be rid of. I’m long since over it, but I still love the lyrics I wrote. I think there are many others who can relate to the feelings so I’m sharing it now.
You were here while I was sleeping,
In the depths of my mind,
Where all the secrets I’ve been keeping,
Are all I come to find,
Where once upon a time we danced,
With open hearts and woven hands,
Until I woke to dawn’s cold bitter light.
I don’t want to dream about you anymore,
This is the last my soul can take,
I don’t want to wish on any more shooting stars,
They fall so far,
And I reach until I break.
I’ve only ever fallen in love with shadows,
And chased whispers into heartache,
I don’t want to dream about you anymore,
You will never be with me when I wake.
I’ve worn a ballgown made of silver white light,
And a veil that trailed across the aisle and into the sky,
I’ve said I love, I will, I do, for all of time,
But only at night.
In the quiet breaths between who I am,
And what I wish inside,
I don’t want to dream about you anymore,
This is the last my soul can take,
I don’t want to wish on anymore shooting stars,
They fall so far,
And I reach until I break.
I’ve only ever fallen in love with shadows,
And chased whispers into heartache,
I don’t want to dream about you anymore,
You will never be with me when I wake.
Reality is where the sunset’s reflected in your eyes,
On picturesque painting that make me cry,
It was everything I ever wanted,
Everything I’d ever wished that it would be,
It was all for real.
Just not for me.
I don’t want to dream about you anymore,
This is the last my soul can take,
I don’t want to wish on anymore shooting stars,
They fall so far,
And I reach until I break.
I’ve only ever fallen in love with shadows,
And chased whispers into heartache,
I don’t want to dream about you anymore,
You will never be with me when I wake.
