She had dreams of her own
Thoughts she could feel
An imagination
That seemed so real
But she put them in a box
And locked it all away
She threw out the key
So they'd never see the light of day
Because she knew if they did
They'd be killed by reality
Reality would tell her
How things were supposed to be
That true love and happiness
Never really existed
And fairy tales and magic
Is just reality that got twisted
No one ever told her
That her dreams could change the world
No one ever encouraged
That bright little girl
And now that she's older
Her box of dreams and thoughts
Is hidden and forgotten
It just sits there and rots
Maybe if someone had told her
What her dreams could've done
Her dreams and reality
Might've become one
