Life Is A Dream
Reamonn Lyrics

Oh no not you oh no not you anyone but you
I am upset that it is you who has caused my troubles and not someone else.

Everytime I realize there's something wrong when I see you
Whenever I am with you, I notice that something is not quite right

The way you try to prophesise that dreams just can't come true
You always try to tell me that my dreams are impossible to achieve

The times you tried to undermine my reach what I still believe
You have attempted to discourage me and make me doubt my abilities

The times you tried to bring me down cut me up and watch me bleed
You have maliciously hurt me to the point of causing emotional pain

But now the hand of faith has turned opened up and turned inside
My fate has changed due to forces beyond my control

What you stole dreams returned my believe in life
My hope and optimism for the future have been restored after you stole them

And when you turn you, you turn inside and when you burn you, you burn alive
You will suffer the consequences of your actions and face the repercussions

‘Cause everytime I opened up you were never around
Whenever I confided in you, you were not there to listen

And everytime I lost myself you were nowhere to be found
Whenever I lost my sense of self, I couldn't find you for guidance

I lived inside an innocence but innocence was born to die
I used to be naive and inexperienced, but I had to mature and become worldly

Inside the soul of everyone who’s lost their faith in life
This is a common experience amongst people who have lost hope in their lives

And life is a dream to me, life is a dream
Life seems too good to be true, like a wonderful dream.

Sometimes I wonder if you knew it all the time
I sometimes doubt if you always knew how much you were hurting me.

And tried to stop my innocence from leaving you behind
You might have been trying to protect me from the harsh realities of life by preventing me from growing up

I thought that you were powerful I thought you were strong
I believed you were capable and influential.

But now when I look around I realize there's something wrong
Upon reflection, I see that you were not what I thought you were and something was not right about our relationship.

But now you want to open up but there is no one around
You now need someone to confide in, but there's no one there for you.

Now you try to loose yourself in the hope that you'll be found
You are trying to escape from the negative feelings you are experiencing

I see you for you innocence I see your soul wants to fly
I see that you still possess childlike qualities and have a desire to become something greater

You feel the hand of faith has turned and given you back your life
You believe that fate has changed and that you have been given a new chance at life

Life is a dream to you and me, life is a dream to you and me, life is a dream to you and me
Both of us view life as something surreal, something unattainable, like a dream.
