I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you think
And if I'm being honest
It might've been a nightmare
To anyone who might care
Thought I could fly
So I stepped off the golden
Nobody cried
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up I see
You with me
And you say

As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I can change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you're here
They don't deserve you

I tried to scream
But my head was under water
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter
Could've been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up I see
You with me
And you say

As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to
If I could change
The way that you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you're here
They don't deserve you

If I knew it all then, would I do it again
Would I do it again?
If they knew what they said, would go straight to my head
What would they say instead?
