These dreams

(Verse 1)

You swore you saw the future in your sleep,

Said you woke up with a message meant for me.

But every word was tangled up in make-believe,

Another reckless lie you swore was destiny.

And I’m so tired of prophets with their painted truths,

Sayin’ follow me while they lead me straight into the bruise.

I never asked for visions turning into wounds,

I never asked to be the man you’d use.

(Bridge)

And I’m haunted—yeah, I’m haunted—

By the things you said were “meant to be.”

But I’m learning—God, I’m learning—

Not every dreamer speaks honestly.

(Chorus)

’Cause some dreams are thieves in the night,

Sneaking in just to rewrite

Everything I thought that I believed.

Some visions only leave you sore,

Make you wake up wanting more,

But the truth was never hiding underneath.

You said you saw us in the sky—

But you lied, you lied,

Oh, these dreams are made of thieves

And I was too blind to see.

(Verse 2)

Some nights I swear the heavens tried to talk to me,

Whispered warnings in between my memories.

Told me love can look a lot like make-believe,

Told me not to chase a ghost who doesn’t bleed.

But you were dressed up like a miracle I prayed for,

Had me kneeling just to keep you from the door.

Didn’t know your heart was just a metaphor—

A storm I wasn’t meant to weather anymore.

(Bridge)

And I’m shaking—yeah, I’m shaking—

From the things I almost followed through.

But I’m waking—God, I’m waking—

From every dream that wasn’t true.

(Chorus)

’Cause some dreams are thieves in the night,

Sneaking in just to rewrite

Everything I thought that I believed.

Some visions only leave you sore,

Make you wake up wanting more,

But the truth was never hiding underneath.

You said you saw us in the sky—

But you lied, you lied,

Oh, these dreams are made of thieves

And I was too blind to see.

(Bridge)

And maybe I wanted magic so bad

I let your fiction feel like fact.

Maybe I trusted every flash

Of lightning in your broken past.

But if love is real it doesn’t have

To steal your breath or break you back.

I’m done with dreams that never last—

I’m done with you, I’m done with that.

(Chorus)

’Cause some dreams are thieves in the night,

Sneaking in just to rewrite

Everything I thought that I believed.

Some visions only leave you sore,

Make you wake up wanting more,

But the truth was never hiding underneath.

You said you saw us in the sky—

But you lied, you lied,

Oh, these dreams are made of thieves

And I was too blind to see.

(Final Chorus)

’Cause some dreams are thieves in the night,

Creeping in to twist the light—

But I’m done being the man who just believes.

Yeah, some visions fade at dawn,

But I’m stronger when they’re gone,

And I’m finally waking up from what you weaved.

You said you saw us in the sky—

But thank God it was a lie.

Oh, these dreams were made of thieves…

And now I finally see.
