I thought the time had come for me to find myself
And take what I could take
You thought you`d found yourself a dream that wouldn`t end
The moment you awake
I don`t want any strings, you`d say to me
Again and again, somehow I still believed
That even while I was reading you between the lines
I could see me running blind
I spent too many of my days too far away
And felt the toll it takes
And only learned how much you`re capable of pain
And who`s the first it breaks
I`ve had too many strings, you`d say to me
It hurts too much to break them when the feelings leave
Much as I thought I`d met the problem eye to eye
I could see me running blind
I guess where you`re from, dreams have little mystery
They make them every day
It seems a whole lot simpler than reality
And starts to feel the same
And take what I could take
You thought you`d found yourself a dream that wouldn`t end
The moment you awake
I don`t want any strings, you`d say to me
Again and again, somehow I still believed
That even while I was reading you between the lines
I could see me running blind
I spent too many of my days too far away
And felt the toll it takes
And only learned how much you`re capable of pain
And who`s the first it breaks
I`ve had too many strings, you`d say to me
It hurts too much to break them when the feelings leave
Much as I thought I`d met the problem eye to eye
I could see me running blind
I guess where you`re from, dreams have little mystery
They make them every day
It seems a whole lot simpler than reality
And starts to feel the same
