dreamer - Kari Kimmel

I used to laugh aloud when you were around, now you’re far away

Can’t even hear me

With every other word you said to me as I fell asleep

Now they’re fading whispers

I can’t remember

I believed we were in this together

Giving everything for a chance at forever

I’m a dreamer

Who should’ve known better

But I thought you had a dream here too

I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better

Cuz now I have to live, I have to live

In this dream without you

With every other word you made me yours

With every wish you breathed

And every promise

Yeah, yeah

How did you read my mind

Tell me every line that I longed to hear

Well you were so convincing

But you left me empty

I remember when we were both so naive

And now you’re telling me that you never believed

I’m a dreamer

Who should’ve known better

But I thought you had a dream here too

I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better

Cuz now I have to live, I have to live

In this dream without you

And then it all becomes too much

Couldn’t you fight a little harder for us

You traded dreams for reality

And promises you couldn’t keep

And nothing was the way it seemed

I’m a dreamer

Who should’ve known better

But I thought you had a dream here too, yeah

I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better

Cuz now I have to live, I have to live

In this dream without you

I should’ve known better

Oh, and I thought you had a dream here too, yeah

I’m a dreamer

Who should’ve known better

Cuz now I have to live, I have to live in this dream without you
