Dreamer:

I was a dreamer

A long time ago

Then somebody came

And told me no


He said, dreams

Just don't come true

Trust me, I've lost

More than a few

I didn't believe him,

Said he was a liar

Then you came along

Suddenly my pants were on fire

You were such a charmer

I thought you were the one

But while I was in love,

You were just having fun

Playing with my feelings

He said that's what you did

I brushed off his warnings

But I was the one who was stupid

You broke my heart

My first love a tragedy

I ran back to him

But no use, I had screwed up badly

I had used him

Like you had used me

Always expected him to be there

Even though a fool could see

I had broken his heart

When I let you break mine

His warnings had haunted me

But I had refused to follow the signs

Now I had lost you both

Because of my own foolishness

I had mistaken a love for a jealousy

Caught in a selfish bubble of carelessness

I see now that I was the monster

You may have broken my heart

But I had been warned

He didn't know that my cruelty would drive us apart

I had tried to follow my heart

But it led me down the wrong path

I should have fallen for him

Felt his love, rather than his wrath

And yet at least I know now

People like you are everywhere

He had tried to protect me

But I would have eventually met a bastard somewhere

I no longer live in a bubble

That's the only thing I'll thank you for

The rest, you should understand

I'll never forgive you for

You see, it's not about my broken heart

I got over that long ago

It's that I never got to love him because of you

If only I had listened to his no
