I woke up from a nightmare of a prince leaving me behind
At first I thought he was from Rome, now I know that was a lie
Because it wasn't until I saw an image of your face
That I knew in my heart in my dreams you were placed
It's been months since we were in each other's presence
Yet it's been years since my heart beat this intense
Where are you, my love?
What happened to us?
I know the order, the steps, the events, the story
But memories of you holding me when films were too gory
Hurts much more after the months of silence between us
Your mother still calls, your father is silent, which is a plus
I'm still in your family but so far away
I know we'll be friends until otherwise you say
I'm left imagining tonight of a time that once was
When we hadn't been allowed our freedom for our cause
Perhaps we were the right people in the wrong time
In a parallel universe walking a thin line
These years have got better, I know my life is complete
Except for nights where in my dreams you leave in defeat
Is there a world in which I was brave?
Perhaps in a land, by the sea, near a cave
Singing about how it would be nice
A pleasant morning, not a night living lies
Our love was a city we had dreamed we built
Would it help you to know I'm still wracked with guilt?
Still to this day I hear your voice sing in pain
Of thorns and roses and love wash away in rain
That trip to the ship of sunken hopes is now a dead dream
Hopefully tonight is quiet instead of one filled with screams
