Only The Dream

I saw her and the whole world froze In shades of gray she was the glow I searched for any little reason Just to step inside her secret world She smiled but hid the fear inside Scared of feelings she couldn’t fight But i kept reaching wild and brave My heart already knew her name Every time she looked at me I felt something i couldn’t see Her lips — my sweetest surrender Her shadow stays forever She was haunting all my nights I believed those flashing lights Somewhere between truth and lonely I was hers and hers only We got closer crossing lines Burning through the warning signs I kept saying there’s no way back No more living in the past And one night we let it fall Two flames turning into one But the brighter that we burned The less of her was left to hold Morning creeping through the blinds Left the truth between the lines Her lips — my sweetest surrender Her shadow stays forever She was haunting all my nights I believed those flashing lights Somewhere between truth and lonely I was hers and hers only With the daylight it disappeared Just a dream my heart held near But her silhouette remains Like a distant neon flame Even if she’s just a memory That dream still lives in me
