"what were those promises we made?
that we'd find a home someplace else, move away and leave everything we ever had behind,
dreams only came to us when we were asleep, because any other kind of dream would've brought a slap in the face,
dreaming when concious was considered a shame, pity even.
but we dared to dream, eyes wide open,
no flashing lights and cameras,
we dared to dream of happiness.
we dreamed too big, too soon"
