"Don't wake me I'm still dreaming I don't see you I can't feel you I'm alone for real in my mind I'll feel this all night When my life takes flight
This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time

This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time This isn't just in your mind We're suspended from space and time
Why do you hurt me? This reality Why you smile at me? Show your fallacies Dreams hold me down But let me go When reality will wake me I don't know

What makes you think That you get away with that Talking to my best friend Behind my back
Look what you've did to us Look what you've did to me What a wonderful love loss Wouldn't you agree
