I woke to find you by my side
You gave your heart to keep it alive
The love that you bring me is shining within me

Just another dream
Nothing ever seems to look the same anymore
And you're not coming home because it's
Just another dream
And I could stay alone forever

You play your game like nobody loses
You know the way so why don't you use it
I need you beside me but you keep on hiding

Just another dream
Nothing ever seems to look the same anymore
And you're not coming home because it's
Just another dream
And I could stay alone forever
Forever

Long nights and lonely days
I'll burn the candle always

Just another dream
Nothing ever seems to look the same anymore
You're not coming home because it's
Just another dream
And I could stay alone forever
