I thought the time had come for me to find myself

And take what I could take

You thought you'd found yourself a dream that wouldn't end

The moment you awake

I don't want any strings, you'd say to me

Again and again, somehow I still believed

That even while I was reading you between the lines

I could see me running blind



I spent too many of my days too far away

And felt the toll it takes

And only learned how much you're capable of pain

And who's the first it breaks

I've had too many strings, you'd say to me

It hurts too much to break them when the feelings leave

Much as I thought I'd met the problem eye to eye

I could see me running blind



I guess where you're from, dreams have little mystery

They make them every day

It seems a whole lot simpler than reality

And starts to feel the same
