You say and walk away
Like it's over, nothing more to say
Well I've got something on my mind
I'm asking you to stay
Just this once
And hear me, not just listen
Because you won't know what you're missing
If you don't know the way I feel
What makes you think that
Any of this is
Real?
Oh, I could lie
And spin you webs of stories
Tell you anything you want to hear
I guess that's fine with you as long as it's not
Real.
As long as it doesn't hit too close to the mark
Jerk you out of your complacency and make you start
Questioning this present, picking through the past
Doubting our bright future
You knew it couldn't last for long when you're the
Only one
Who believes
You say I'm building castles -
It's hope, I tell you, Hope
That tomorrow won't be just another
Today
Now, then.
