I’d been cartain I was his dream

I was certain I loved him,

And that he loved me.

I thought it was real

I truly did.

I believed every lie you told me.

Because, you see, I’ve been alone

For so long.

And like the blind trust of a baby

I trusted you.

I shouldn’t have, but I did

And it ruined me.

Oh, how it ruined me.

I’d been certain I was her dream

I was certain I loved her

The way she laughed,

The way she looked at the stars,

The way she looked at me.

And she loved me.

Oh my god, she loved me.

And I threw it away

I made a mistake

I saw temporary happiness in temporary things

She was my permanent happiness and I was hers

But like the crumpled napkin

From a diner you can’t quite remember the name of,

I threw it way.

And it ruined me

Oh, how it ruined me.

I was certain I was his dream,

But that was long ago.

Now I stand looking at the stars

Only occasionally giving a thought

To us and what we could have been

Every now and then I let my mind wonder

To the places you took me

I can’t help but smile

You gave me good memories.

I’m happy now

I have a new job, in a new town

You gave me something real

It hurt to see you leave

But I’m better now

Thank you

I’d been certain I was her dream

I’d loved her

I still do

It ended ages ago

I heard that she’s happy now

With a new job in a new town

I made a mistake

The worst in my life

She made me happy

But now

The tequila makes me feel nothing

I’m the saddest person in the world

I loved her and I let her go

And it ruined me

Oh, how it ruined me.
