My Dreams


You'll never say it's true
You want it all for you
Inside you know you do
And I've been locked inside

But help me (to) understand
You said you want my hand
You wanted to be friends
But now I understand

You only wanted my dreams
But now I understand
You only wanted my dreams
For yourself... for yourself

You taught me how to pray
You said that it will pay
You wanted me to stay
And I'm still blind to see
How you are playing with my fears
That you create my tears
But only after years
It's now I understand

You only wanted my dreams
But now I understand
You only wanted my dreams

If somehow, I should die
Will you ever wonder why?
I am real but you can't feel
All that you erase and kill
I will fly away from here
All you took will disappear
Was it my dream?

You said you want my land
Now I cannot pretend
It's time for me to stand
As hard as it can be
I'm ready now to see
I'm going to be free
Cause now I understand

You only wanted my dreams
But now I understand
You only wanted my dreams

You said you want my hand
Now, I cannot pretend
It's time for me to stand
As hard as it can be
I'm ready now to see
I'm going to be free
