Just a Dream
J Rice Lyrics

I was thinkin about her, thinkin about me.
Reflecting on the relationship and the future together.

Thinkin about us, what we gonna be?
Pondering the destiny of the relationship.

Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream.
Realizing that it was just an idealistic dream.

So I travel back, down that road.
Recalling the memories of the past.

Will she come back? No one knows.
Uncertain about the chances of getting back together.

I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream.
Accepting the truth that it wasn't meant to be.

I was at the top and I was like I'm at the basement.
Going from a high point in the relationship to the lowest point.

Number one spot and now she found her a replacement.
Losing the top position in her heart to someone else.

I swear now I can't take it, knowing somebody's got my baby.
Feeling the pain of her being with someone else.

And now you ain't around, baby I can't think.
Unable to function properly without her presence.

Shoulda put it down. Shoulda got that ring.
Regretting not proposing and committing to her.

Cuz I can still feel it in the air.
Sensing her presence and reminiscing the good times.

See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair.
Visualizing and imagining her beauty and charm.

My lover, my life. My shorty, my wife.
Referring to her as his soulmate, his everything.

She left me, I'm tied.
Feeling stuck and helpless after the breakup.

Cuz I knew that it just ain't right.
Realizing that the relationship wasn't meant to be.

When I be ridin man I swear I see her face at every turn.
Seeing her face and her memories everywhere he goes.

Tryin to get my usher over, I can let it burn.
Trying to forget her with music and letting the pain burn away.

And I just hope she notice she the only one I yearn for.
Wishing that she knows that she is his only desire.

Oh I miss her when will I learn?
Missing her and knowing he needs to move on and let go.

Didn't give her all my love, I guess now I got my payback.
Not loving her enough, and now experiencing the consequences.

Now I'm in the club thinkin all about my baby.
Thinking about her even in the company of others.

Hey, she was so easy to love. But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough.
Acknowledging that although she was easy to love, their love wasn't enough to keep the relationship together.

I'm goin through it every time that I'm alone.
Suffering when he is alone and missing her presence.

And now i'm missin, wishin she'd pick up the phone.
Longing for her to call and reconnect.

But she made a decision that she wanted to move one.
Accepting that she has decided to move on from the relationship.

Cuz I was wrong.
Realizing that he was in the wrong and that led to the end of the relationship.

If you ever loved somebody put your hands up.
Asking the listeners to show their love and commitment.

And now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything.
Feeling the pain of not being able to give everything to the one they loved.
