Dreamcatcher

These shallow thoughts are flowing quickly to an end from your mouth
But did you know that you’re drowning my dreams in your doubt
Take time to see what you are and what you’re doing to me
Does shutting me down pushing me out make you feel free
You’re just another stone in my way
But you won’t become a brick that I lay
Placing the path in front of me to reach the goals that I seek
Trace back the lines we’ve drawn and picture what this life could be

If I could find a way to turn back time
I won’t change you can’t change me
Why would you even try?
Take your words and walk away because I stand to hear say
Everything that you think I will never be

It feels like every time I speak you turn my words around on me
So I’m treading carefully always afraid to breathe
Leave me be and let me reach all of the things that you don’t believe
I could ever hold in my hands
How could you ever hope to understand?
Trace back the lines we’ve drawn and picture what this life could be

If I could find a way to turn back time
I won’t change you can’t change me
Why would you even try?
Take your words and walk away because I stand to hear say
Everything that you think I will never be

There’s a good chance that I’ve made too many mistakes to ever redeem myself
But if I spend my whole life trying to fix the past then I might as well
Give up hope of happiness and the will to go on
I’d rather find fulfillment in what I am than be lost in what I’ll never get back

They say my dreams only last till the end of the night
But if you’d open your eyes you’d see they carry to the morning light
I don’t need sleep to live my dreams so stay the hell away from me

If I could find a way to turn back time
I won’t change you can’t change me
Why would you even try?
Take your words and walk away because I stand to hear say
Everything that you think I will never be
