HOMELESS DREAM


I was a young man with only a dream
but sometimes things ain't what they seem
Foolishly chasing after a fantasy
Closing my eyes refusing all reality
I kept on holding on for I didn't know
Now my eyes are open the sorrow shows
Deep down I always wanted to be together
Realizing now you never said"always and forever"
Our spirits were at war
for you didn't love me anymore
It was time to retreat I had to run
I grew weary from the damage that was done
Next to me I held you but I let you go
I lifted my head for it hung low
Now my broken heart is mending
and the love of my life is ending
For you I'll always pray
that one day to me you will say
that you love me like I love you
and you know now how my love was true
Although our flame is no longer lit
and we lie awake at night and cant forget
why as the years went by we were so alone
Because it was I who never really had a home
But sometimes things ain't what they seem
I was a young man with only a dream
