I remember when we were young
The innocence and the dreams we dreamed
No one ever knew our pain
We were strong, we were brave
Chorus:
But now I look back and I see
The truth in what I had to leave behind
It's like I was a dreamer, just a dreamer
Now I wake up, and it's over
Verse 2:
It's funny how time flies
Now I'm here all alone again
With only memories to keep me warm
I remember how we felt
And what we wanted to be
But now we're lost in this game of life
Chorus:
But now I look back and I see
The truth in what I had to leave behind
It's like I was a dreamer, just a dreamer
Now I wake up, and it's over
Bridge:
It's a broken dream, but it's all I've got
And now I'm just a memory to you
But I'll always remember what we had
And how we used to be
Chorus:
It's like I was a dreamer, just a dreamer
Now I wake up, and it's over, it's over
Now I'm here standing, I'm staring at the past
Trying to find a way to move on
But my heart still calls out your name, yeah...
