Better in My Dreams

It’s always been a wish of mine
For almost all my life
If I hang my heart on the line
He would always treat me right
Adore me, every day and night
Love me in a special way
Build memories ‘till we old and grey
But somehow the reality
Was different from my dreams
He was sweet at the start
And then he finally broke my heart
Now I don’t wanna talk about it
I don’t even wanna hear his name
Didn’t plan to be the toy
That he used to play his game
Didn’t want a knight in shining armor
I just want a love that last forever
Didn’t want a life without the storms
Figured if we fight we could move on
Thought I’d found a gem inside a friend
But he was just the same as all of them
In reality, he was better in my dreams
Like the morning sun that shines
Love had come my way
But a broken heart was right behind
Like rain my tears won’t go away
Every memory brought a tear
I cried enough to last a year
Promises were sweet as wine
But like grapes on a vine
Sweet words faded over time
So my mind told my heart
It’s best to leave this all behind
Now I don’t wanna talk about it
I don’t even wanna hear his name
Didn’t plan to be the toy
That he used to play his game
Didn’t want a knight in shining armour
I just want a love that last forever
Didn’t want a life without the storms
Figured if we fight we could move on
Thought I’d found a gem inside a friend
But he was just the same as all of them
In reality, he was better in my dreams
Every piece of a broken mirror
Will show a full reflection
A girl will hold onto her fairy tales
Even if they don’t come true
A boy will always be a boy
By the things he say and do
With all the hurt and pain
Inside my world
I’m still a hopeful girl
I don’t wanna talk about it
I don’t even wanna hear his name
Didn’t plan to be the toy
That he used to play his game
Didn’t want a knight in shining armour
I just want a love that last forever
Didn’t want a life without the storms
Figured if we fight we could move on
Thought I’d found a gem inside a friend
Same as all of them
In reality, he was better in my dreams
