**[Verse 1]**
*Picking up the pieces you left,*
*Wondering what people will say.*
*I thought I'd have a weight off my chest;*
*It's just getting heavier every day.*
*Perfect times turn bad in a flash,*
*An instant takes my world away.*
*Euphoric highs become epic crashes,*
*Covered up my sunshine in grey.*
*[Intro: Soft piano melody, building emotional depth]*
**[Chorus]**
*Dream a dream,*
*'Cause that's all that you've got.*
*Dream a dream, while the dreaming is hot.*
*Live a life, because it's better than living a lie.*
*Embrace your pain, 'cause you'll never know love till you cry.*
*[Chorus: Powerful orchestral swell, evoking longing]*
**[Verse 2]**
*Loving you was never the best,*
*But loving you was part of my life.*
*Today is just the ultimate test;*
*Without you, will I wither and die?*
*We’re a movie frame captured in time,*
*But I can't remember my lines.*
*You want to go and play with the dead,*
*Pretend that everything is just fine.*
*[Verse Break: Gentle guitar strumming, transitioning to chorus]*
**[Chorus]**
*Dream a dream,*
*'Cause that's all that you've got.*
*Dream a dream, while the dreaming is hot.*
*Live a life, because it's better than living a lie.*
*Embrace your pain, 'cause you'll never know love till you cry.*
*[Chorus: Powerful orchestral swell, evoking longing]*
**[Bridge]**
*I wake up with your scent on my breath,*
*I'm gonna give this one more try.*
*Love is poetry at its best,*
*And poetry is nothing but lies.*
*[Bridge: Quiet, introspective moment with minimal instrumentation]*
**[Chorus]**
*Dream a dream,*
*'Cause that's all that you've got.*
*Dream a dream, while the dreaming is hot.*
*Live a life, because it's better than living a lie.*
*Embrace your pain, 'cause you'll never know love till you cry.*
*[Outro: Fade out with haunting harmonies]*
