Lost Dream

Lost Dream
I saw you in a dark room
Feeling anxious looking blue
I saw the look upon your face
A picture that I can't erase
That was a lost dream
I've had since I was seventeen
I could not believe my ears
I had to find out on a screen
I don't understand what I've lost
I don't understand who took it from me
I don't want to know the cost
I don't want to have the bonds from me transformed
Everybody plays a part
And this is your part and why can't you accept that
It's who you are
It's who you are
I am the last in a line of a long line of lovers
Pray the day arrives that I can make some meaning of my troubles
For now I just accept that what is lost is lost forever
I only want what's best for you
I only want what's best for you
Now what's the worst that they could do
Even worse was making it through
Only to relive the pain
Over and over
I might understand what I've lost
But your loss is beyond all measure
And if I could afford the cost
To take you from there, to take you to another time
And you could light a cigarette
And think of your boy and think about your future
It's who you are
It's who you are
I am the last in a line of a long line of lovers
Pray the day arrives that I can make some meaning of my troubles
For now I just accept that what is lost is lost forever
I only want what's best for you
I only want what's best for you
