The Dream
Future Heroes Lyrics

I know I'll never be beautiful
I acknowledge that I lack conventional beauty.

But you kissed me once, in the sun
You once showed me affection that made me feel beautiful and desirable.

I know I'll never be loveable
I am aware that others may not find me desirable or worthy of love.

But you made me think I was wrong
Your actions or words gave me a sense of worth and made me believe that I am lovable.

And you say: "it doesn't matter,"
You dismiss my concerns or insecurities as insignificant or unimportant.

But I want to scream: "it does!"
My feelings and self-worth are important to me, and I wish you would acknowledge that.

You made our little dream shatter
You caused our shared hopes and aspirations to fall apart or be destroyed.

But oh, what a dream it was
Despite the outcome, our shared dream was beautiful and meaningful to us.

I could've just run away with you
I had the opportunity to escape with you from our problems and challenges.

But you didn't want me along
You chose not to include me in your plans or future, leaving me behind to face my problems alone.

I spent my one happy day with you
At one point, I experienced pure joy and happiness while in your company.

But when I woke up, you were gone
However, the happiness was only temporary and you left me to face reality alone.

And I always knew you were faking
I had a suspicion that you were not being genuine or honest with me.

The little moon-beam that was us
Our relationship was like a small, fragile, and fleeting light.

And I wish I'd never awakened
I regret waking up from our shared dream and facing reality.

And lived in a dream
I wish I could have remained in the fantasy and illusion of our shared dream.

Because oh, what a dream it was
Despite the pain and outcome, our shared dream was beautiful, and I cherish the memory of it.
