Lyrics
I dreamt you last night.
Did you feel me watching you?
As my words gave life,
is it everything they make it out to be?
You can't even see
When I reach for you, I'm reaching out to me.
(And you just stand and stare)
You never needed anyone,
You never needed anyone,
But least of all me.
I gave my life to the perfect soul creation.
You taint the image
I kept of you while you were gone away.
(why couldn't you stay)
And I never thought
you'd be coming back my way,
And I never thought I'd have to wait.
(Chorus)
I'd be your shelter in the storm,
but the walls around you kept you warm,
I would catch if you fell,
but your life was cushioned far too well,
I'd be your beacon in the night,
but you always followed your own light,
I'd take the final dying breath,
but you prefer the martyr's death,
And I thought that you
could need me for my sake.
But I guess we all make mistakes.
(Chorus)
