The Best Dream I Ever Had
It was the best dream I ever had.
Listen to 'I Am Music'.
Been making music since 1999. I have recently begun to branch out into every Genre. Who knows what you'll find here.
Story behind the song
I had a dream that I never went on the second date with her...
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was walking down a road I’d never seen before
Sun on my back, no weight upon my chest
No echo of your voice inside my soul
No scars from all the battles I witnessed
I laughed with friends I hadn’t lost to time
Built a quiet house beside the sea
Woke up every morning feeling fine
Like the man I thought I’d always be......
[Chorus]
It was the best dream I ever had
A whole life lived without the chains
I never chased you down that dead-end path
No poison in my veins
And I grew old in peace...
not pieces...
Then the light broke through the ceiling
And the dream started fading
God, it was the best dream I ever had
It was the best dream I ever had
God, it was the best dream I ever had
[Verse 2]
You weren’t there to twist the knife with every smile
No late-night calls that left me on the floor
No promises that crumbled after a while
No wondering what the hell I stayed here for
I never learned the taste of second place
Never wore your guilt like a crown
I just lived, with ordinary grace
Never watched my better years burn down......
[Chorus]
It was the best dream I ever had
A simple life I’ll never know
I never ran when I still had the chance
Because I let you in so long ago
And I grew old in pieces...
not peace...
Then the alarm tore through the silence
And the truth came rushing violent
God, it was the best dream I ever had
It was the best dream I ever had
God, it was the best dream I ever had
[Bridge]
Now I’m lying here in the same damn bed
Where I swore I’d never hurt again
Your ghost is gone, but the damage never left
And the morning tastes like medicine
I mourn a life that never even happened
A happier me I’ll never meet
The cruelest joke is waking up laughing
Then remembering what’s real underneath......
[Final Chorus]
It was the best dream I ever had
A whole damn world without your name
I woke up screaming all the same
Because the nightmare wasn’t what I feared
It was the life I chose when I stayed
The years I lost, the love I gave away
To someone who just played
God, it was the best dream I ever had
And I’ll never get it back......
[Outro]
So I’ll close my eyes and chase it one more time
That road, that house, that lighter heart of mine
Maybe tonight reality will lose,
And I’ll stay asleep
In the best dream I ever had
In the best dream I ever had
